Island Park

Our trip to Island Park and Yellowstone.....all out of order and random.....enjoy :)

When we first starting planning our trip to Island Park we thought it would be fun to camp with the kids...you know rough-it a little. Well, we ended up just getting a big cabin that
would fit everyone in it. It was way better than camping! In fact I think it's my new way of camping.
The boys made this awesome fort out in the trees.
Great for pretend wars and such and even greater because it kept them busy for hours!


I told you this was random...this was my favorite mountain man we saw at Yellowstone.




Old Faithful was pretty exciting actually. I really wasn't sure what to expect but it was fun to see it blow. I dared Kyle to yell "THAR SHE BLOWS" really loud when it started to shoot up. Everyone laughed, it was totally something his dad would have done if he was there.

Looking cute while waiting for Old Faithful!

The boys favorite part of the whole trip was getting to go fishing with their dads. They caught a whopping 1 1/2 fish. Hayden almost had one but then it got away.


Crew and I saw a big MOOSE on our 4-wheeler ride. I am still to this day thankful for that Moose. Whenever he is wondering away I just have to say - "oh no, there's a moose" and he'll come running back to me...... sneaky - I know.

The boys all bought knives at a giftshop at Old Faithful. They widdled their little hearts out and made good luck charms. Only 1 finger was sliced so we were excited about that.



Crew LOVED Alexa! She was so cute with him and gave him tons of attention too.

The girls.
Get up you lazy Bison!

Lots of sword fights,

and yelling JENGA - JENGA.


I loved getting to spend time with Alexa. She is such a doll and has grown up so much.
She has the cutest little southern accent too.
I loved being able to tease Kade too. My boys especially had fun playing with their cousins they
don't get to see very often.

Just wish we could hang out with the Cunningham's more often.
