We had tons of fun there. We were able to go on the curator tour where we got to feed lots of different animals including the dumb-dumb turkeys, the elk, and all the cute bears. One of the big bears had even learned that if he clapped for the people that he would get more food. Corbin wasn't quite sure that he wanted anything to do with the animals, but after much coercing he feed the baby deer and pet the snorting pig. 
It was all over with, however, when the two geese came and tried to eat his shoelaces while he wasn't looking. You would have thought that they had come to eat him!It was a bit rainy and quite cold in the Park but we still had a blast. We stayed at Al's Westward Ho (which we re-named "The Crazy Ho" cuz the lady that ran the place was quite a charm. I guess you can't expect too much with a name like that. We spent two full days driving around the park looking for animals and listening to the elk bugling. We had several picnics in the park thanks to good planning from Sonja and Grandma....and we can't forget all the traditional frosty chocolate malts! I think that Grandpa had all but turned into one by the time we left.
Dad and Sonja brought several two-way radio's so we were able to converse back and forth between each car which made it lots of fun. On occasion, Grandpa Green would tell us a funny story like about how he and the Mammoth Judge had developed such a close friendship when they used stay in the park for weeks at a time.
We also got lucky and on our way out of the park on the final day we got to see a big grizzly bear. They had only spotted two bears in the park in the previous week so we were extra lucky to be able to see one of them. We are so glad that we were able to go and grateful that everyone was able to come as well. We look forward to doing it again next year!
