Island Park

We went to Island Park in Idaho for the Elggren family reunion. We had a great time! We went to Big Springs. The water was crystal clear. I have never seen water soooo clear and pretty before. There were seagulls everywhere and we even saw a muskrat. People were feeding the seagulls and they were going crazy.


We went into Yellowstone for a day. The kids and dads floated down the Firehole River. It was a little too scary for the younger kids, so they were freaking out, but the dads went down a couple of times.



We went to Old Faithful, and for the record it was a minute past the predicted time frame. It was also pouring outside, so Boston was freaking out until we got him protected from the rain. It was pretty cool though.


We saw some other geysers, they were amazing. Some of the hot pots were beautiful. The water was so blue.


We saw Yellowstone Falls. The lower falls were awesome. That was Darin's highlight of the trip. It was so cool to see the gorgeous view. One of my favorites was Boston doing his chipmunk laugh and making grandpa almost spit his drink out.
After Yellowstone we went to a pizza place. Boston was watching baseball(his new favorite word) and he was yelling at the t.v. "Wow, wow, no, yeah!" He had the whole restaurant laughing at him.


We walked around West Yellowstone, MT. That's right it's in Montana. To get there we had to drive through a really bad hail storm. Once we got there, we went to the a bunch of shops and we had the best ice cream. If you ever get the chance, you have to get ice cream from Montana.



Our last day there we floated down the river. It was fun to see the magnificent scenery. We also went to Bear World. They had elk, deer, moose, and bears. We had a great time and I would love to go back to Island Park.
