Island Park - - - July 2011

This is Patty Gray and I in July, 2011 near her cabin pictured on the right in Island Park. Her family and mine had our family's cabins the same week so Lynn and I stayed a night with the Gray's and took a tour of the area. We had a fun hike and enjoyed hearing stories of their adventures in their cabin
over the years.

Connor, Jayden and Jacelyn had lots of outdoor adventures. They would have loved time to catch frogs but instead had a fun hike, collected rocks and saw some beautiful outdoors.
Jacelyn kept up very well with the boys and had a lot of fun with Connor as well.
The adults had plenty of time for relaxing, visiting, eating and enjoying the peacefulness of being away from our jobs and busy lives. We get a long very well with the Gray's and enjoy their company.



We spent the day at our cabin in Island Park next. We had some canoe trips. We spent a lot more time visiting and relaxing. The Gray's stayed for dinner which was taco salad night and we spent the evening playing games. My parents came up during the day as well so Patty and Dave got to meet my crazy dad and mom. Dave heard lots of telescope stories.


Dave Davidson joined us the next evening and spent time with us on the water and on the 4-wheelers. The Davidsons stayed with us the rest of the weekend. David D., his wife, Lynn and I went to the dinner theatre to celebrate my birthday. that was a lot of fun. (Home School Musical... goofy but fun!) Dave and Patty went on a really fun late evening canoe ride with us that was a hoot! We could barely see where we were going and were even startled once by a log, once by a fish that jumped out and splashed Lynn and once by who knows what.


We had many fun times floating down the river by the cabin, in tubes, canoe and rubber rafts. Lynn spends a lot of his time fixing bikes, blowing up toes and putting canoes n bikes on and off of the trailor, but he was very happy and had a fun relaxing time as well. It's fun to have him with us for some fun! He is my favorite adventurer and such a good husband and father!

After our fun at our cabins Lynn took Cody Gray and his friend home and I stayed with the Grays a night in their cabin (Jayden as well) and then went through Yellowstone National Park with them. We drove up around the main loop and stopped for a few hikes and to see Mammoth Hot Springs. We had a fun picnic and lots of hours of me yapping and telling my life story. The Grays still talk to me so I must not have scared them off too badly, but it was like a big therapy session--- free. It was also my birthday so I bought a turqoise Yellowstone jacket up by the canyon in a gift shop. It was a fun week of family and friends.
