The first week in UT, we traveled up to Idaho. we found such a great cabin in Island Park, just a few miles away from Grandpa's cabin, that could hold us all. it was beautiful and there was a bedroom for everyone. we had lots of good laughs and ate lots of good food. isn't that what its all about??
i just about froze my hiney off the first night we were there. i was not prepared for the weather to be like that. the days ended up being great, but being on the boat was pretty chilley. sweatshirts & life-jackets. there was no way i was jumping in that water, but it didn't stop the kids from having an absolute blast.
we drove into West Yellowstone the 2nd night to see "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" at the Playmill. It was really cute. The kids all found a fun souvenir after:
Izzy-pink shotgun in pink holster
Liv-toe ring
Jaxon-Rubber band gun
We were really missing Sabe since we were all having so much fun and he was stuck at home working. Lots of phone calls and promises he won't be left behind next year :)
