We had the best vacation this summer! We were able to spend a week in Island Park with our families. We stayed in a cabin right on the lake and spent the first few days with Andy's family and the last few days with mine. We had so much fun...eating, catching up, catching bats and just relaxing.
After watching a six disc PBS documentary on the National Parks, Andy decided we were going to visit them all. We took a day trip from Island Park and spent some time in Yellowstone with the fam. Check.
Here are a few of the highlights from the trip. (Thanks to all those who took great pictures - it seems like I was always forgetting my camera!)
Around the campfire with Grandpa Great.
Beautiful...
It is honestly a small miracle that we didn't tip over :)

We made a detour and drove by the house I grew up in. I hadn't been there in over 15 years!

What a fun summer vacation. I have loved reading through your blog tonight. I haven't checked it in so long, I was glad to see that you have been posting a lot. I heard that you had your fourth baby. Congratulations! Gorgeous family, of course. Your family photos are so beautiful. I enjoy reading the quotations of things your cute kids say. little treasures. Say hi to Andy for me. He looks great. I wish we lived closer together. I know we would love to hang out.
