Yellow Stone Vacation

We were going around the country, but little did we know that at the end of our trip we would have tons of trouble.
We were going to Yellow Stone. Down the dark road I was up in my bed looking out the windows and I finally fell asleep. I woke up Saturday morning at Walmart, in the parking lot. Then we went on a boat and won free Pizza. After that we drove for a couple days. We went through the Bad Lands to Rushmore. We also went to a place called Reptile Gardens, but that was before Rushmore. A m an showed us a rattle snake and a king cobra. The same man was with tons of alligators. We got to Rushmore at night. The light on the faces of our presidents. We slept at the K. A. Y. That night. A couple days later, we went to see the sate of Utah and visited friends. We went up a waterfall and spent the night at their place.
The next day we went to a space Imax movie. Then we left and drove all day and spent the night at the Grand Tea Tons. We finally got to Yellow Stone the next day. We saw the Old Faithful Inn. After a couple minutes, we saw the one and only Old Faithful geyser erupt. We also saw another one erupt from far away. We spent the night at Fishing Bridge. It was a place where you could fish but the people fishing lowered the trout population and everything went wrong.
The next morning we went to the point pots in Yellow Stone. We smelled tons of stinky sulfur. Once, the sulfur was so thick it smelled so awful, but my dad hardly smelled it. All of the sudden a bison stood right in the middle of the path we were one, causing a traffic jam. It finally went off the path. Then two baby bison were on the path. One went off and the other stayed for a while. Than it got off and we finally got to the other side. We went back to fishing bridge and spent another night there.
