This is the longest post EVER!! We just got back from an amazing, blissful, stressfree trip up to Island Park. A HUGE thank you to my parents who put the whole thing together. Here are a few of the many things we did all week! Just wanted to share with all my friends.
Our second day was spent in Yellowstone. Here are a few highlights....mostly the buffalo herd behind them here, and the geysers.....other than that it was alot of ARE WE THERE YET???
These are pics of THE GATHERING PLACE!! You should check it out online. It is on vrbo.com.
Larry was able to come up with us for the first 3 days. Our highlight was this ride up to Big Springs. No I wasn't hunting, my mom was determined to not let me freeze.....thought I was going to die I was so HOT!!!
There was a fun pool table in the basement and Syd and I played a real crazy game. Guess you had to be there, but the pics talk for themselves. The 8 ball was here throughout the game and by the end all the other balls were surrounding it which made it pretty CrAzY
We had craft time....it was a success. Melanie and I took the kids on a nature walk and we painted rocks.
Here you have us out in the yard playing a mad game of kickball. Go DAMON!!!
We spent most of the week 4-wheeling all around Island Park. They have some amazing trails and it is breathtaking! Grandpa let the boys drive and they did so good. Here is Sydne, Cora and Randy plus some of my dad with the kids.....
This was the momma moose spotted right by our cabin. It had a baby just a couple feet away. Can you say RUN!!!! (I read Hatchet when I was a kid so I aint no dummy :)
After the wee little ones were put down to bed, we would play card games! Actually we played all day too when we weren't out on the 4-wheelers and playing with moose in the backyard....
Sorry Syd...ha ha I had to put this. It was the funniest moment because right before I clicked the button to take the picture, they were both looking in a totally different direction. They both turned and pulled a face at the last second.....not even planned. I am going to miss these guys ( I know, I know they live just down the street, but I honestly never cross paths....sad.)
Here's the gang at the Sand Dunes on our way home from the week of bliss..........
My fam took a trip up to the Dunes right before Larry was going to come home off his mission. One last trip with all of us together (except for Wes who was on his mission). This brought back some FUN memories....it is so much fun to see my kids creating the same.....
Not as high as I could get back in college, but still impressive right?
On our way home we stopped in Rexburg at the Sand Dunes! The kids LOVED it!! Here are some of our favorite pics......
Alison is very aware of the wrath she gets when she plays with my camera, but I am constantly finding these treasures every time I am looking through my photos. What am I going to do with her???
If looks could kill......her poor husband :)
I don't even think she knows what this sign is.....wonder where she got it.
This is Larry's fav!
