What happens when one of the kids goes to the bathroom when the bus is ready to leave? Rent a minivan and set your own pace and if you want to stay at a place a little longer you set the pace.
Pack a styrofoam cooler with drinks and sandwiches.
Tours have pros and cons. But my goodness . . . I'd never ever take a bus tour w/ really young children.
I like tours enough, but not 10.5 hour long ones with such young children. It would be far cheaper to drive yourselves around the park, even with a minivan rental, if needed. Yellowstone is in a "figure 8" loop, basically; you could, if needed, hit many of the major scenic spots in a full day (I used to do it with guests).
That trip would be hell with little kids - both for the kids and the other passengers. Agree to rent your own vehicle (or drive the one you come in).
