Woke up, and left the KOA and drove a few miles to Cody, Wyoming, to do some serious White River Rafting. It was awesome! We met some hilarious southerners, named Terry and Kirsten. Terry was hilarious she was a huskier lady who was petrified of the rapids, and at one point during the trip she yelled at the guide who was busy pointing out various species of birds “Should We Be Doin’ Something” as we approached a rapid. Plus every time we had a little bump she’d grab every buddy around her in a huge bear hug. Once we got to the halfway point, some people had to go but we were going to do the whole thing as people got out I was put in the front. When we reached a lower class 3 rapid I got hit straight on completely soaked and wet and went flying off my seat landing right behind me on the floor of the raft. It was crazy! Definitely one of the many highlights so far on the trip. After the river rafting we went grocery shopping then headed into Yellow Stone. So we were all wondering what the first animal we would see would be. To our surprise we saw 3 rangers and a ton of tourist's pulled over on the side of the road, staring at…a grizzly bear. It was so cool! Mom probably didn’t like seeing that right off, but on the plus side it’s got us out of some hikes. The bear was sleeping when we first arrived, but then it started to move. We got some really great photos before the bear left. Then after that we saw some buffalo crossing the road which was neat. Then we arrived at our camp site. Definitely and amazing day.

Just got Internet so post is kinda late,
