First Family Vacation

This weekend we got to take our first little family vacation. We stayed up at my friends cabin in Island Park. There was no TV so we had to make due with playing games and taking walks to the river to feed the fish. Logan saw a bunch of "Chickenmunks" (chipmucks) and Cooper saw plenty of "Motorhighschools" (motorcycles).

One day we took a little ride through Yellowstone. We saw plenty of Elk and Buffalo. We went and walked around the paint pots and saw the famous Old Faithful. We took a little hike to see the upper falls, and drove around a beautiful lake.

At the gift shop Braxton choose a pocket knife as his suvenir. When we got up to the register we realized it said #1 mom so we ran back and swiched it. They didn't have his name but one that said Leo was sitting right on top. He thought that was pretty cool so we grabbed that one. When we got back to the cabin Bonnie and Randy had caught some fish so Randy showed them how to clean them and then Braxton got to break in his new knife and clean a fish. He did really good until he had to pull the guts out and then he said he was going to throw up so he stopped.

We took the canoes out for a little ride down the river. The sights were beautiful and we saw a lot of cool fish and birds.

On our way home we stopped at Bear World. We drove around the park and saw deer, mountain goat, Elk and a moose. We went to the petting zoo and pet some goats, deer and a cute little pig. They had some really cute little bear cubs that kept showing off. They were jumping up on a post and then one would come knock the other one off. They were so cute. They also had some rides that the boys really enjoyed.
