Island Park & West Yellowstone Aug 24,25 2012

This weekend we went to Island Park and Yellowstone Park with our friends, The Hancock's.  They are from Peoria, Arizona.  Clinton was their Home Teacher.  It was fun to get to know them.  When we were getting ready to leave Arizona, we made a plan that they would come to Idaho and we would take them to Yellowstone.  That was 1 1/2 years ago.  As the summer was coming to a close we thought about this conversation and Clinton called up our friends to see if the plan was still on.  Yeah!  It was. We are at the cabin on Bill's Island.

Joe and Chelsi are rinsing off their muddy feet so they can get in the paddle boat.

Jeremy, Megan and Mitzi in the boat.

When we all got out of the boats we had to wade through the smelly mud to get to dry ground.  Nice muddy feet!

Clinton got a fire going tonight so we could roast marshmallows for smores.

Saturday we drove through Yellowstone Park.  We took them to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the thundering waterfall.  We stopped to show them the boiling hot pots and mud pots and walked around them.  There was even this cave that was called Dragon's Cave.  It really sounded like there was a dragon in there.  For lunch we stopped and had a picnic.  The wildlife we saw were elk and bison.   Last, but not least, we saw Old Faithful go off.  Then we sent them on their way.  They also took Chelsi back to Provo.  The one thing about us moving to Arizona is the great friends we made while there.
