On Wednesday we headed back up to Yellowstone to see Old Faithful and that segment of the park. There were three lovely hot air balloons flying over the Tetons. I got these shots from the car as we drove passed them from very far away.
Once we got to Yellowstone, we headed straight for Old Faithful Geyser. We watched it go off as soon as we arrived. I got video of the eruption, but I can't use it because someone is swearing in it. From there we hiked ALL the way to Morning Glory Pool. It's kind of shaped like a Morning Glory blossom. It's the furthest away from Old Faithful so we got to see the rest of the geysers on the back half of the loop.
We watched the Grotto geyser go off. It's really close to the Morning Glory Pool. 
This is Chromatic Pool.
There was a raven who thought he was a golden eagle.
Saphire Pool. 
We watched Old Faithful go off again when we got back from our hike. I was very, very tired. We ate lunch at Old Faithful and then did Biscuit Basin and Black Sand Basin which are very close to Old Faithful. Here Autumn is showing off her hat at Black Sand Basin. This hat never actually stayed on very long because the wind wanted to blow it into the geyser.
We had planned to go on a 5 mile hike to Lone Star Geyser, but we were too tired after our Morning Glory Pool hike. Jonathan took this picture of Kelper Cascades while the rest of us tried to sleep in the car.
On the way back to Jackson Hole we stopped at the bend in the river to take a picture of Mount Moran.
