Here are Blaze's pictures he took on his 5th Grade Yellowstone Trip (above: Blaze in a wolves' den). All of the 5th graders from his school (about 38 kids) got to go to Yellowstone for a 2-day overnighter, to study the environment and animals of Yellowstone. Blaze spent pretty much the entire school year anxiously waiting for this trip and he had a great time! It was a really neat experience for him. They were able to see many, many buffalo, a black bear and her cubs in the wild, wolves and grizzlies in the preserve in West Yellowstone, and they visited the first wolves' den created after the reintroduction of the wolves into Yellowstone, plus Old Faithful, of course, and many of the other thermal features and rivers in Yellowstone. Blaze has a real love for the outdoors and enjoys any opportunity he has to be close to nature.
