Journal Entry
Today Grams, Gramps and I are stopped in Yellow Stone National Park and we are going to go see the beautiful scenery. We walked along the trail until we where stopped at a lake. It reminded me of the time Grams got bitten in the leg by a cotton tail. It also reminded me of my mother, just like everything I do does. I loved seeing Old Faithful and learning about the historical events that took place here. It has been one great day.
