Island Park

I decided to give this part of our trip it own posting since the other one was getting so long. Jason flew in on a Saturday and we were off to Island Park on Sunday. It was so much nicer this year because we were able to stay in a trailer right next to everybody. The kids loved being right there for all the action, including the fire and smores. While we were there we went on a short canoe ride with the kids, fed the fish, saw the falls, and went into West Yellowstone. We pretty much do the same thing every year, but it is getting so much easier now that the kids are getting older and can run and play with the cousins. The weather was beautiful the entire time, including the day it rained the entire time. It was so nice and peaceful there. Hopefully next year we can go again and maybe attempt to do Yellowstone.

Sam said that something was missing at one of the dinners and it was the fluff that Pauline was famous for. So in she ran into the trailer and came back out with some fluff - this was just for you Pauline. 

Kinley loved sliding underneath the bed in the trailer and playing peek-a-boo.

There were left over olives from dinner one night so Jack decided he was going to see how many he could stuff in his mouth. I'm not sure how many he got in there, but it was a lot!
