Island Park this year was a smaller event due to the fact that the Hammonds couldn't make it. However, we were still able to find some adventurous things to do.
As always canoeing is a must. Once again Bennett and Ethan desired to captain their very own canoe. Jacks wanted his very own canoe with Matt and was completely upset when Jemma hopped in. He wouldn't even smile for the camera.
We also overloaded the 4 wheelers and took a back trail to West Yellowstone. While up there we unloaded a lunch we had packed in for a picnic and then stopped for ice cream before heading back.
Another day we made a plan to drive through Yellowstone to visit Old Faithful. However, traffic was so backed up we turned around and decided to visit the West Yellowstone Discovery Center. There, the kids got to see real life wolves and bears. The kids enjoyed it immensely.
We also got to spend a night at the Playmill watching their production of Mary Poppins. The kids loved it! And so did most of the adults.
This summer the weather has been a bit more wet and chillier than usual and that makes it a whole lot less fun being outdoors, but we managed to find some fun. And spending time with the Nulph Family and Grandma Julie usually makes for a great time.
