(Yes, Uncle Jason positioned Chris exactly in that spot!!)
Saturday we spent exploring and feeding the fish at Big Springs. Jason threw bread to the ducks to distract them so the rest of us could focus on the large trout righ under the bridge.
We also took the little hike to see the cabin made all by hand by the short man (can't rememer his name right now).
Sunday was spent in Yellowstone Park after attending church in Island Park. I thought it was so beautiful in the park. We all kept a look out for the wild life and ended up seeing moose, elk, buffalo, deer, coyate, and even a wolf, but no bear. Lizzy was our photographer of wildlife and enjoyed jumping from the car to get a picture now and then.
We ate lunch at Old Faithful and patiently waited to see the geyser blow. Aunt Donna was with us, and she doesn't ever recall seeing it as a child so it was lots of fun to watch her enjoy the spray.
The children had lots of fun fishing the stream just behind the cabin. Lizzy caught two little fish, Hannah caught one little fish and Chris got lots of bites from all the big fish. Mom had fun holding the bait and snapping pictures.
Monday after cleaning the cabin we traveled home. Just outside of Twin Falls we stopped and hiked to these waterfalls. The visitor's center there had a great display of bears and a movie about them in Yellowstone. So even though we didn't see any real ones we had our bear experience.
I asked Chris if he had ever climbed a haystack. He didn't believe me that they are really really spiky, so we pulled over and Chris and Hannah climbed the stack. Guess mom isn't just a whoose after all!
Just as Monday night was coming to an end we stopped at Dehn and Ashley's to see their new home.
