Our Hotel and A Drive

Peanut was getting such poor naps during the days that we kept putting her to bed really early.  Then we would take the video monitor next door to our friends room and play cards while the kids watched a movie.  It worked out really well and the girls would fall right to sleep when we got back to our room.

After our day at Storybook Island we relaxed at the hotel for a bit.  There was a nice big porch area where the kids could play and the adults could sit and rock, read, visit, or play cards.

Miss L had brought lots of games to keep the kids entertained.

We ate dinner which turned K into a masked tortilla bandit :) and then headed off to try to spot the elusive herd of buffalo.

We skipped the Needles Highway this time and went straight down to the “Wildlife Loop” which was supposed to have herds of buffalo roaming free.  We saw two. Both completely alone and in wooded areas. I always thought they lived on plains and stuck together?

One.

We did see quite a few pronghorn, and when we were stopped to look at these a family came by in a pickup (going the other direction) and said they’d just seen 100’s of buffalo so we got going in hopes of seeing them!

But all we found was a few deer. :(

We must not be very good buffalo hunters. :P

We headed back to the hotel and Daddy read the girls some books before bed.
