Island Park adventure



In october, we took a trip to Island Park, Idaho for a family reunion of sorts. My grandmother generously rented a gorgeous cabin in the woods where we met up with several of my aunts, uncles, cousins and their children - 25 in all! We spent one afternoon in Yellowstone where we saw buffalo, moose and elk and the famous geyser. The kids all got along so well and had an awesome time doing crafts and playing together. Reese could have been happy spending the whole weekend outside digging in the dirt and playing with the rocks and sticks. We all had a wonderful time, until my 83 year old grandmother was drove a 4-wheeler into a rut and flipped it over. She ended up with a punctured lung and many, many rib fractures! She's a very tough woman and came home from the hospital and is doing much better, thankfully. Hopefully, she has learned that her days of operating heavy machinery are over, but somehow, knowing her, I doubt it! And of course, I did not take many pictures. And, as usual, you would never know Noah was with us because he won't let any pictures be taken of him!
Reese still remembers seeing the buffalo and how it was rolling around in the dirt.
