Our Family Reunion in Island Park

We had my Dad's side of the family's family reunion this last week. We spent an entire week in beautiful Island Park, Idaho....just outside the West entrance to Yellowstone Park. Below is a picture of us at Addy's first bomb fire!


Here is Devrea and me at the Continental Divide in Yellowstone.



Addy listening very closely to what Old Faithful is all about!


Us at Old Faithful.......it doesn't shoot as high and as long as I remembered it.


Here we are at the Paint Pots.......my mom's favorite place in Yellowstone!


We were very lucky this trip to Yellowstone.....we saw two black bear, a grizzly bear (it is rare to see a bear in Yellowstone and we saw three in one day!!), a bull moose, a huge bull elk, bison (of course), tons of elk, baby elk, a bald eagle and dear! Below is the bull moose.


The cousins in the car coming home from Mesa Falls....


All the girls and the baby's at Mesa Falls. Mesa Falls is just before you get to Island Park. It is a water fall that drops a little over 100 feet! It is spectacular!!



Nick and Addy walking down to Mesa Falls......she loved it!!
