Island Park/Yellowstone


For the last 3 years I have not been able to to go the condo at Island Park because of work, but this year I made sure I could go. I have been going up to Island Park since I was little. My grandma, my parents and now my sister Krista have a condo timeshare. Billy and I could only go for the weekend but it was worth it because it was his first time there. Saturday we went to all the usual places we always go to, since Bill has never see them. We went to Old Faithful, paint pots,and the fire hole.

Billys Yellowstone outfit, his pants matched his hat..it was funny.


The Gang!



This is when we were at the paint pots. This is about 4 minutes before the storm HIT!

This is us running to the car but cant see where we are going! HAHA

This buffalo was right next to our car, pretty cool.

Having lunch at the big loft hotel at Old Faithful. Since it was snowing we staying inside and watched it blow. They had huge glass windows right there at Old Faithful so we stayed warm and watched. Morgan and Krista went and stood outside by Old Faithful for like 20 minutes while my dad was at home online on the Old Faithful website and could see my two sisters on websites camera. He took a snapshot of it and emailed it to us. It was kinda crazy how technology is these days.


It might be a cute picture but I had to go the bathroom soo bad!
Us at Big Springs in Island Park to see the big fish.


Us at the IMAX theatre seeing the movie YellowStone. Im so glad we went up even though it was only for the weekend.
