Island Park 2010

Island Park is one of our favorite yearly Miles family vacations.

My boys on the lake.

We drove over to Big Springs to see the fish and Mikey and Sam saw a path and ended up taking me on a fun little nature walk along the river. I'm so glad that these little cousins have so much fun together.

Traditional Sunday afternoon drive through Yellowstone National Park

We saw lots of buffalo, elk, and deer. Then we also so a bald eagle, a fox, and even a coyote.
We were just happy not to be parked behind buffalo laying in the middle of the road this year.

My boys. Mikey was quite the little trooper. He got car sick and threw up chunky chocolate milk all over the car (great fun for us too), but he stayed happy the whole time.

the view from the green... if you ever wondered what a golf course in the middle of nowhere would look like, here's your answer. Gotta love the view of the Tetons in the back.

As you can tell, this is a really deep, raging river.... so deep we had to get out and pull our raft since it couldn't float in ankle-deep water. This is at the start where it is the most shallow. It gets deeper and wider as you go.

Mikey wasn't too sure about the raft. This is how he stayed most of the way until he fell asleep on me.
