DOES YOUR DAY OFF START LIKE THIS?

Sunday night it rained again but on Monday morning the ground and everything else was covered with 1-2 inches of snow, not just a dusting like on Saturday morning.  I went outside to take some pictures before the snow melted.  This is a picture of the fence and road behind our campsite.

At Walt Disney World you can have breakfast with the Disney cartoon characters.  At Grand Teton National Park you can have breakfast with full grown wildlife ambling by your motorhome.  When I sat down to eat breakfast I looked out our side window and noticed several bison coming between our RV and the next campsite.  I asked Ann to come quickly with the camera and she took the following pictures of a herd of about 25 bison who rumbled within 10 yards of our RV.  Seeing is believing!






























Most of the bison went towards the place in the fence that was broken and didn't have a top rung.  However, a few of the more agile bison showed their leaping ability and hurdled over the fence.  Ann caught this big bison just as he was about to leave the ground.

What a way to start a day off!

  1. Awesome! I know you are cold, but I think the snow looks beautiful. And eating breakfast with the bison sounds great, such a unique experience.

    We are all enjoying receiving your postcards, especially Amelia and John. John immediately asks Amelia to read the postcards aloud when they come. I hope we get to see some wildlife when we are there in July since the kids are so excited about it now.

  2. Are they used to people Dad that they don't see you all as a threat? Or- would you just have to make sure you are out of sight. How interesting. Laura

  4. I guess with Memorial Day past, business will really pick up. Hot as Hades in Louisiana of course and lots of thunderstorms. These pictures were very cooling. Love your photos. Carry on. Carla
