Island Park and Yellowstone

Kristin's Awesome parents invited us to stay in a cabin up in Island Park a couple weekends ago, and of course we couldn't turn them down! We're so glad we went and grateful for the invite. It was WAY fun. The morning we got there we rented rafts and floated down Big Springs. The river (or spring i guess) was the prettiest one I have ever seen. The water was only 2 or 3 feet deep most of the way and crystal clear. It took us around 3 hrs to float the whole thing and Joshua did really well considering he had to sit on our laps the entire time and it was during one of his nap times. He loved to put his feet in the water and didn't care that it was freezing cold.

While we were up there, we decided that since we were so close, we'd go to Yellowstone. I had never been and no one else had been in at least 10 years. It was so amazing! All of the hot pots blew me away. I'd never seen anything like that before. We only got to spend about 5 hours there, so I can't wait to go back again and see more.
