I highly recommend staying in the park if possible, the drive from West will get old on the 2nd day especially if you want to do any dawn/dusk drives thru Hayden or Lamar Valley to see more critters.
My folks stayed in West 3 years ago and we stayed in a campground. They had an additional 2 hours of driving time every day, and now they stay in the park.
Canyon and Madison are our favorite campgrounds. We have always wanted to stay at Norris, but don't like moving or waiting on the first come, first serve.
I would call Yellowstone Reservations and see what you can do. 1-866-GEYSERLAND (866-439-7375)
As for in the park, pack a nice lunch and pick a good spot in different parts of the park to enjoy. We like to eat in Mammoth, any of the places between Old Faithful and West Thumb, and Lamar Valley.
We also like to plan a short hike each day. There is so much driving that the kids need to get out and burn some energy. Lot's of day hikes in the park.
The Jr Ranger program gives the kids a lot to look for in the park, and something to show their friends when they get home. I think they are supposed to be 4, but it may be worth looking into.
