Island Park Adventures!

Madelyn swimming at Firehole River... she loved it, the water was "kinda" warm.
Eli thought he was awesome in his new sunglasses in West Yellowstone.

Allie's new thing is posing, it is hilarious, she is so funny!

The cousins: Eliza, Maddie, Sophie & Hannah...they were inseparable!

Aunt Becky brought sugar cookies for all the girls to decorate, of course Allie thinks she's as big as the rest of them & fits right in.

Ethan & Eli (the turds) were in the hot tub flexing their huge muscles.

Maddie, Eliza, Lindsey & Sarah chillin' on the porch of our cabin.

All the kids piled in the back of my van to go float the river, they thought it was great.

My family, minus Allie & Eli, me, Maddie, Whitney, Mom & Heather.

Our little family at Island Park, without our daddy.

We spent all of last week in Island Park, some of my mom's family was there. We rented two cabins next to each other. All in all there were 14 adults, 4 teenagers, and 8 kids under age 10...needless to say, there was a lot of chaos, a few tears, and a lot of laughs! We hung out in West Yellowstone and saw an Imax movie, spent a day in Yellowstone Park and swam in the Firehole River where the hot spring comes out. We floated down Henry's Fork by Macks Inn a few times, fed the fish at Big Springs, ate a lot of good food, played games & sat in the hot tub every night after the kids were in bed.... We had a great time, it is beautiful country up there, we enjoyed the fresh air, the endless forests, the animals we saw, and the fun memories we made with our family. Branden wasn't able to go, he got really busy at work & decided to stay home & work on some projects in the yard. Aunt Heather & Gramma were a lot of help, although we didn't see Maddie or Eli much, they played & played with there cousins. It is so fun to reminisce & laugh about old times with the family, we have made a lot of fun memories & hope to be able to make many more.
