What a beautiful place!
We took our annual Island park trip and had loads of fun!
Thursday morning we wandered into West Yellowstone and did some sight seeing
Our first stop was the Fountain Paint Pots
then we drove the Firehole Lake loop and saw this peerrty waterfall
later that day we went and waded in the Buffalo and did some fishing
the kids caught minnows and skipped some rocks..
and Syd caught her first fish
way to go Sydney!
dad caught a bird! sad :(
The Next day.
::Friday::
We went and floated the Big Springs river
The boys LOVE to paddle
we had fun doing some kayaking this year
we pulled over for a quick lunch break and the kids played in the shallow water
Trying to get a nice family photo, Reese being herself, she's going through this awesome phase of throwing fits and screaming... happened too regularly on this trip
and her 30 seconds later... just as fine as could be... crazy girl!
The boys skipping rocks
camp fire at night
::Saturday::
We drove into West Yellowstone again, we were going to spend some more time on the river but it was raining, so plan B worked out great too!!
First Stop
Gibbon Falls
Then Artist Paintpots
Thanks Uncle Matt ;)
The whole clan, minus pregnant Kara who happily volunteered to take the picture
cutest cousins
Reese - Woodrow - Avery
The drive to Mammoth Hot Springs
Parker being cute with Reesey...
She was uuhm a little difficult I guess you could say, about 40-50% of the time, the sleepless nights and no naps were not doing her any favors...
she has good brothers and luckily is loved by all cause the screaming and the tears were not cool or fun..... at all
This "Dangerous Ground" sign is everywhere, warning you not to step off the path, or else you'll end up like this boy in the picture, you can't see the part of the picture of the boys mother pointing and screaming too, we thought the picture a bit harsh, but I guess it could be a harsh reality if you step into the boiling water! I told the kids to copy the face of the poor boiling boy~
we had a grand ol' time in Island Park
and Yellowstone!
Did lots of fun stuff...
and saw a MOOSE! Deer, Elk, Bison, Bald Eagles, and other cool stuff!

Looks like you guys had so much fun!! Each year I try to get Bryce to do things like what you guys did but we always do the same ol thing. Sit in the cabin and then go shop in West. It kinda drives me crazy. It was so fun seeing you guys! We need to plan a bbq or something!
