Island Park/Yellowstone Park--the best of both worlds

Jane and Sydney at Old Faithful
My mama with Rhett and Sam at the hot pots

Josh and Syd getting a steam bath

Sydney, Sam, Rhett, and Jack feeling hot and enjoying the steam

Josh working his magic. He rode his bicycle back from Yellowstone uphill over the continental divide and into Island Park...what a stud

Yep, I still got it--Henry's Lake is COLD. We rode our snowmobiles across this lake like 3 months ago

This drives my mother crazy. My dad lets all the kids take turns driving the boat. She is like, do you do this in a car? NO, so what the hell are you doing?

Jane's bum, seriously cute and nearly non existent

Syd hanging out on the dock

Sam, Jack, and Rhett after they went paddle boating and found a "dead bear" that actually ending up being a dead moose--really smelly and gross. Love Island Park, love Yellowstone, love hanging out in the lake, playing cards, eating homemade taffy (that we purchase in West of course), buying new Teva sandals at the trout shop, and playing cards

When we lived in Idaho Falls we loved to go to Island Park and float down the river. I'm glad you are having a great summer.
