Yellowstone Day 1

We got to Island Park Friday night, had an ice cream social at the main cabin and then headed down to our family cabin for the night. Steve and Andrew talked Allison and Jerrod into playing a game of Liars Dice. Allison was quite good at it. hmmmm....wonder why :)




The girls all settled in outside with cups of hot cocoa. They thought they were so grown up as they were laughing and talking.

The next morning we decided to go rafting before we headed out to Yellowstone. I'll post about our rafting trip by itself since we have so many pictures. The kids thought it was really cool to ride in the back of Uncle Jason's truck.


This was our family cabin. It was so nice. If anyone wants to buy it, it is for sale. Only $300,000 I think. Not bad.

After rafting we headed into Yellowstone to go see Old Faithful. On the way we saw a herd of elk so we stopped to take some pictures.




Next we headed up to Old Faithful. The kids were freezing and of course we got there about 10 minutes after it had erupted. So we had to kill 90 minutes or so in the lodge.




After it finally erupted we turned around to go back to the lodge and there was the prettiest rainbow. For all you bachelorette fans....it prompted me to tell the story of Chris and his rainbow in Tahiti. Everyone laughed at me :)


Once we got back the kids took a dip in the hot tub at the main cabin and then we headed to our cabin for a movie and some of Aunt Jamey's caramel corn.
