ISALAND PARK & WEST YELLOWSTONE

On Wednesday night we left Logan and headed to Idaho Falls to meet up with Wes's parents. we stayed overnight and in the morning we picked up Colten and headed to Island Park to the cabin. Wes, Leon and Colten went fishing at Henry's Fork when we got there and Linda, Avah and I hung out at the cabin. We had SO MUCH FUN, we read books, watched movies (the only kids movie was Shrek 2 so we watched that I swear 50times!!!), made bracelets and hung out. Friday we went to West Yellowstone we didn't see much game. at one point traffic was backed up for i swear a mile or more by the time we got to where the "distraction" was i was a little disappointed that it was just an elk, i was hoping it would be something more exciting. we drove to this place that had a dead end and when we got to the end this boy (about 10years old) with a heavy accent ran up to our car and was So excited that he had just seen a dear, what he thought was a dear was actually a little group of elk, i could not believe how close we were to them. Wes pointed out my window and i screamed because there was a cow elk maybe 5 feet from my window and i didn't see it when we came to a stop. we went to fire hole, the paint pots and Old Faithful. there were some more places we were able to stop but i cant remember what they were called. we had so much fun at West Yellowstone. Saturday morning we got all packed up and got the cabin cleaned up and then Wes, Leon and Colten went fishing on their way home. Linda took Avah and I to my parents house and we were able to hang out with the boys (Jaymin and Bryson)for a while. It was so nice to get home on Saturday and have a day to "recover" before our busy week starts.
