Here is a little more catching up. We really didn’t get a chance to make it up to Island Park as often as we normally would. This summer was just plain crazy. We had one weekend in June and it hailed on us and then we finally made it back a few weeks ago. It was a quick trip but we were able to spend the day in Yellowstone Park, something the boys love to do.
We didn’t get to the cabin until late Friday night and it was FREEZING! The next morning the temperature was around 17 degrees. Brrr. It did warm up though and we only needed sweatshirts.
We had company for lunch! Can you see him? This big lonely buffalo was camped out right next to the picnic spot. It was kind of disconcerting but we kept our distance (he looks closer in the picture than he actually was) and everything was fine. 
The “Stink Pots” as Sammy likes to call the paint pots.
We thought the lone buffalo was going to be the only animal we saw but on the way out we came across a herd of elk. You just don’t see animals in the Park like you used to.
All in all it was a great weekend. Short. But great. There is just something about Island Park that is so restful. I wish we could have made it up there more this year but I am excited to go next summer…with our little Maggie in tow!!!

So glad you were able to get away. It looks like a fun vacay. How did you get your pictures to pop off the page?
