The Nelsons: Reimchiissel Family Vacation!

I was counting down the days until this vacation! We had such an amazing time with my family. Thank you so much to my awesome parents and also my sister Amy for planning this trip and making memories! We first flew in to Idaho Falls then went to Amy's house in Pocatello. That next day we all loaded up and drove about 2 hours to island park to start the party/vacation!

Things we did:

-went to a rodeo in Montana

-drove up to Yellowstone 3o mins away

-saw Old Faithful, tons of wild life, paint pots, lots of

different falls & hiked

- drove the 4 wheelers around & explored

-rented wave runners & a tube & were lake bums for a day :)

-went on a moose hunt and found some near the cabin

-celebrated Bailey's 4th bday

-cooked amazing food

-had fires at night and the guys in the hot tub late nights

-went to a high school musical local play

-went to local restaurant and ate bison burgers

-guys & kids went fishing (Bailey was the only successful one)

There is a little bit of a picture overload below but there were so many good ones.

Yellowstone & Island Park

This was the cabin that we stayed in. It was a perfect fit for us and was in such a beautiful place! It had a great big yard for the kids to play in, plenty of space to drive the 4-wheelers, hot tub, fire pit, and rocks to throw. :)

Some falls on the way up to Yellowstone

Local rodeo in Montana. The kids had a blast and especially Connor. He absolutely loves horses and was just in heaven with it right in front of him.

Famous Yellowstone entrance sign of course we had to get a photo :)

I know its tiny but there is a bison in the middle. The scenery was so beautiful!

Many times while driving around the park the wild life were just eating and walking around the sides of the roads. So amazing to see them up close! This picture is not zoomed either!

This was a spot at the Paint pots. It was amazing to see such clear beautiful water! It was boiling like crazy and certain spots really did look like paint. A lot of small geysers were around them also.

My sister Ashly made these cute capes for the kids to wear. They were adorable! The little boys at reversible batman and superman ones. Then the girls had reversible princess crown and flower capes. Of course the kids loved them!

Dave had a little too much sun so this was his problem solved haha...a little to late cause he was already burned at this point! The guys were soaking themselves in aloe vera the next couple of days. I think it was worth it cause the wave runners were so fun! The dock was just around the corner from the cabin so we all were there on and off all day.

All the kids were so much more brave then I thought they would be on the wave runners and 4-wheelers. So many good memories! I ended up getting pretty good air on the tube with both Dave & Brandon driving. Lets just say I ended up with a few good bruises the next day! :)
