For our Houghton Reunion this year we rented a cabin on the river in Island Park, the cabin was huge it had a enough rooms for all the couples to have their own room and even the kids to bunk up. We toured Island park, played and canoed in the river. Drove through Yellowstone, saw all the hot spots, watched old faithful and looked really hard for some wild life but was disappointed, we thought we would've seen more. We went to a rodeo that was more like a show played fun games, listened to everyone's favorite songs, danced and enjoyed just being together. On Sunday for our program we all brought and talked about a picture of Christ that hung in our rooms when we were little we talked about the strength that the picture has given us through out our lives. The spirit was felt and testimonies were strengthened.
When I was little we use to go to Island park one of the things we did every time we went to this bridge was put our little bums in the air and look through the cracks in the wood to see the fish hiding under the bridge. So we had to get a similar picture all though our bums aren't quite as small as they used to be. Here is the next generation of little bums.
We missed JT
One of my favorite places to visit the falls of Yellowstone. So beautiful!
On our way back home we stopped at the cemetary that my Grandma and Grandpa Phillips were buried I hadn't been back since they were buried there. I love them and miss them but so thankful for the legacy they left behind.
My Mom wanted to drive by the house she grew up in and show the grand kids, her cousin lives right across the street we stopped in to say hello and saw more wild life there than all of West Yellowstone. They had some baby bison and a camel. The kids were in Heaven. Broc and Auston got to ride the camel, such good time!
On the way home Ady and Broc took some selfies:)
As a whole group through out our road trip we had a contest to see who could find the most license plates through out the US. We got pretty close to finding most of them, super fun and kept the kids entertained. I love Auston's photo bomb in this picture:)
