Some of our fall activities

This tree was huge.  We worked hard to get it in the trailer.  But the wood will be greatly appreciated all winter.

Lance and Melissa, do you remember standing by these falls on our trip to yellowstone in 2003?  This is by the golden gate on our way up to Mammoth.  Yes, another visit to Yellowstone.  We live so close, why not?

 

Hailey just couldn't stay awake through all the jack o lantern decorating.

Labor Day Trip to Yellowstone

The falls are always beautiful.

Another beautiful picture of the Firehole river.

Yellowstone Lake.  (This was a very windy part of the day).  Just before the snowstorm.

Kit is enjoying fishing the Firehole River.

We had our first snowfall of the season in the park.

We are stopping here for a picture at Old Faithful.

Landscaping our home in Rexburg

Palisades Reservoir and McCoy Creek

Janet is the Young Women's President in our ward and we went to girls camp all week with them.  I was an automatic assigned priesthood presence and totally enjoyed it!  It was held at China Beach near Alpine Wyoming, but still on the Idaho side of the border, at Palisades reservoir.  The girls all left Friday morning and so since we were so close with our camp trailer we decided to go to McCoy Creek straight across the reservoir from where we were.  Here are some pictures.

Our 1st Trailer Trip - Summer 2010

We went to Island Park at the Henry's Lake Outlet for our camp. Kit enjoyed fishing although the water was a little high. We rode our bikes 2 miles to Johnny Sack's cabin. Yellowstone was only 18 miles away, so we drove into the park and saw the baby buffalo and Old Faithful. Kit bought a Yellowstone fishing license and had fun catching fish there with an elkhair caddis. Saturday, we went to the Island park dinner-theatre show with the BYU-I 34th ward. That was really fun. Our trailer worked great, but the battery went dead too fast. We'll get that all straightened out before our Bear Lake Trip. We had a really fun time even though it got cold and rained on us. Oh ya, and we almost got eaten by a bear. Oh, that was scary.
