The typical tourist picture! I love this sign!
All of the adults in front of our cabin.

This year Jer's family met up in Yellowstone for our reunion. We all met up in Salt Lake on Wednesday and spent the night in hotels to sort of break up the trip. We hit up the yummy Red Iguana and I'm sure that place will never be the same after dealing with all of us! :) On Thursday, we did our grocery shopping in Pocatello and then we were off to Island Park. We all pitched in and rented an AMAZING cabin that was just perfect for our ginormous group (7 of the 9 siblings were there and 12 grandkids!) It worked out great! The kids had a ball running around and being together 24/7. It is so fun to see them all together. We did a ton of stuff while we were there. Here are just a few of the things we did:
--Went to a historic cabin (that was closed) and walked around. The scenery was beautiful but the mosquitos were horrendous! I have never seen that many ever in my whole life! It was yucky. Needless to say, the next stop was the convenience store to buy some bug repellent!
--Drove through Yellowstone park. Saw elk, buffalo, and some antelope. Watched Old Faithful do it's thing.
--Rafted down the river. This was so fun! We all crammed on two rafts and paddled along. It was beautiful scenery and perfect weather. At the end, we saw a moose! Jeremy's trip was complete after seeing that!
--Hit up West Yellowstone the town. Did some shopping, watched an IMAX movie about Alaska.
The kids did alright at the movies. My Ipod came in handy here for Brea!--Went to Bear World in Rexburg on our way home. The kids loved this place! And I'm not sure which they liked more--the bears or the dinky little rides they had there!
A weird white elk.

I need a trip back to Yellowstone, I guess. It's beautiful!!
That looks so cool. Much better than our soon to happen family reunion at a condo in St. George!
That looks like so much fun. I can't wait to do Yellowstone, except the bear part. Everyone knows how I feel about those creatures.
Good times! Definitely unforgetable!
I'm glad you had fun. You make me feel so guilty with blogging, you are so on top of things, but not guilty enough to do much about it. chat with you tomorrow.
Reading this post is getting me so excited to go up to my family's cabin in a few weeks- I love Island Park! My kids seriously talk about it all year long. I'm glad that you guys had such a good time and that you got to see a moose! Next summer we need to all go up there together and hang out! It'd be so much fun!
We have been wanted to go there so bad, looks like a lot of fun.
You guys are hardly home with all the adventures you go one! Lucky You! Looks like you had lots of fun! I would love to take Owen there sometime.
One of these years I have to get to Yellowstone! :) I'm glad you had a fun family reunion. It looks really neat up there.
It does sound like a fun trip. It is always great when the kids get to play with their cousins 24/7, we need to take a trip over there. Good talking to you, lets get something worked out for a get together.
cool trip! I LOVE the red iguana--it's sorta a secret place, I'm impressed you knew about it!
The white elk is weird--I have heard bear world is a pretty cool thing--did YOU like it?
I have never been to Yellowstone, but it looks like a blast!
