Island Park/Yellowstone 2010 VACA!!

This summer was a HUGE/BIG deal for MY side of the family. We planned a vacation/reunion! My family is very close with each other...but not so close in mileage. Me living here in Logan and being from Logan helps. I get to see my sibs come and visit grandma and grandpa from time to time. BUT having all of us together all at the same time, it's been over 6 years. IT WAS SOOO TIME!!

We met (sorta..but not really) in the middle..at Island Park. We rented a huge cabin two down from a family cabin. With our large family, we needed the space. We enjoyed each day visiting, going to Yellowstone, going to a HILARIOUS play, hot tubs nightly, fire pit smores YUM, crafts and projects for the kids. Walks and four wheeler rides around beautiful Island park and so much more. My favorite though...just being with my family that I love, adore and miss ohh so much. (I am the baby of the family..so I really don't have all that many memories of my older sibs.) I am still learning so much about these great people. I love them all so much. I must add kuddo's to my wonderful parents that have raised such a remarkable family. I know that because they lived there lives right, and taught us everything that they could; they have been blessed with a great family. I truly believe that. I hope that I can be even half as good of a parent as they have been to me. LOVE YOU MOMMY AND DADDY..thanks for the fun.

My kids!
