Yellowstone

For years I have wanted to go to Yellowstone.  Never having been there before I was excited to see all the cool stuff I had heard about.  Well my amazing family made it easy for me to reach that goal by having a family reunion there this summer.  Hooray!

We stayed in a gorgeous cabin in Island Park, ID and made day trips into Yellowstone and surrounding cool areas during our stay.  It was so fun.  Even though we got rained on, a lot, we saw all the gorgeous beauty of nature and had a great time with family.

Pictures!

This is the beginning of the Snake River called Big Spring.  It is a huge spring that is bubbling and beautiful.  Since we lived right by the Snake in Burley it was fun to see it's source.  The rain may have shortened our visit but it also made the greenery pop.

 Our goofy face family shot.  It's a slice of real life, people.

 Here we are checking out the hot pots in Yellowstone. Go Stubbs clan!  (We sure missed the Tylers!)

 Old Faithful, of course.  Not only was the depth of the earth exploding, but Cade was having a major meltdown at the exact same moment.  It was appropriate after all.

 Cade and Ben spotted an elk.

 Yellowstone's Grand Canyon.  Super impressive and the sunshine wasn't so bad either.

We also went to a musical at the little theater in West Yellowstone.  It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat.  Not bad for a little production.  Afton loved it best that her shoes and shirt were glowing in the blacklight.
