Family Reunion in Island Park
My extended family all got together in Island Park this summer. We scheduled the reunion early before summer got super busy... and it was great to see all the family. We spent the first day in Ashton and Island Park, Idaho, and the second day went to Yellowstone. The third day we floated a river in Island Park. We really had a great time!

 |
| The Johnny Sack Cabin at Big Springs was one of my favorite spots. It has very cool handcrafted woodwork. |

| Look at the pattern on the floor that mimics a Log Cabin quilt. |

We also took a lot of pictures on our day trip to Yellowstone. Again, Sam was the king of selfies... and anyone he could catch in the same frame. We loved seeing Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Spring, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
Later we spent time at the cabin with the family. Daddy was able to join us for the night and the next day (thanks to having Saturdays off for the first time in about 7 years). We had a very nice cabin we rented up there. We played games, ate good food, and laughed a lot.

We had a lot of fun on the float trip... except for Jim. He had brought his own raft, and it went flat in one of the very shallow parts of the river. So he ended up dragging it off to the side of the river then walking in soggy shoes about a mile, finally getting a ride from a kind stranger, and meeting us at the end of the trip. Poor guy... lost his new pocket knife, too.
It was a wonderful time with family. I am glad we all were able to be there, minus some of Rachael's family. We enjoyed it a lot!
