The first week of June we went to Island Park in Idaho. We went for Nick's great Grandparents 100th Anniversary. Yes, that is right, if his great grandparents were still alive they would have celebrated their 100th anniversary. So the family all got together and did a session in the temple and then had a big get together afterwards. It was such a neat experience. There were probably 70 family members present at the session and over 300 at the luncheon. ALL BECAUSE TWO PEOPLE FELL IN LOVE! Anyway, we decided to make a big trip out of it because Nick's grandparents have a cabin in Island park. There was alot of family at the cabin too. It was really good to see everyone. The day before we went to the temple we went to Bear World and then stayed in a motel that night. Bear world is owned by Nick's mom's aunt. Anyway, the kids had a blast. At first we just drove through the park and looked at buffalo, elk, albino elk, bears, and wolves. Then we went to the petting zoo where the kids got to pet deer (brand new babies that were a week old, so cute), pet all kinds of birds, feed some goats and just have fun being that close to animals. We watched the baby cubs play and play, and then the highlight was the rides. The rides were free with the park admission fee so we just rode all of the rides over and over. Carter was not a fan of the rides that were bumpy but he liked the train ride and the spinning bears. Trevor and Abby had a blast. The first picture is all of us in the spinning bear and the second picture is all of us on the train. We sure had a lot of fun. To end the exciting day, we went to our motel, ordered pizza and went swimming. It was almost more than the kids could handle and the slept really well that night. We love to play hard!

Looks like you guys are living the high life! Two questions: 1) Don't you make Nick shovel? and 2) How do you get your kids to walk so soon? :) Charlize is getting close, but not quite there yet.

What cute kids! I wish that we would have gone to Bear World now that I look at all of those photos. Love your blog! It was good to see you and hopefully we'll see you guys at the Stewart Reunion!
