Island Park

Last month we enjoyed another awesome trip to Shad's Lake house in Island Park.  This truly is one of our favorite places to be.  You can do as much or as little as you want.  You can't help but feel happy, relaxed, and thankful when you come here and enjoy the beauty and recreation of this place.

This year the cousins had already returned home to Oklahoma so we let Millie bring a friend along.  It was so fun to have Addison join us.  She has had a lot going on in her crazy life so it was good for her to get away with us too.  Of course Chops got to come too!  He has grown to be such a good dog :)

This was one of those vacations where we pretty much just chilled.  Grandma, Heidi, Kirk, the kids and I drove up on Monday.  For the next 3 days we didn't leave.  Just relaxed, played games, cooked, ate, made crafts, swam in the lake, hot tubbed, and recorded "cooking shows" {Millie and Addie}.
BS, Shad, and Grandpa came up Wednesday night with the boat.  For the next 3 days we went boating, rafting, went to the Play house in town {Home School Musical: The Gleek Club}, and a day trip to West Yellowstone.

We came home Sunday, the day before school started for Millie and Addie.  This trip was fabulous, and just what we needed before we started school and the big move.  It was the calm before the storm.
