Our Yellowstone Adventures

Every year at this time we go to Island Park near West Yellowstone. Chad's extended family on the Slocum side has been going up for years and we have followed suit for the last 5 or so years. Chad's parents are always there and we were fortunate to have his brother Steve there with his wife and three kids. Chad's Aunt Ginnie and Grandma from California also came. This year was especially fun for us. We took my niece Jessica along and also invited our good friends Randall and Sharee! It was a very memorable year! Make sure to check out the archive. I posted too much to fit on this first page!

Our first rest stop in Mallad
All of the kids packed in the burb
Jessica and Chad in our cozy cabin
Uh Oh...the cabin had a game cube. The boys found that right away and dubbed that room. Too bad we had so many fun things planned that they didn't get to play very much!
Our Cozy Cabin...we'll never go back to a trailor (at least I won't)

I want details on your cabin. Is it your own or is it rented out? I think we may have to do that next Summer. Great pics!!

What an awesome tradition! We have made it a priority of taking family vacations for years...in fact we are trying to put one together for next year. It's so hard when everyone grows up and moves away though. I too would like details on your cabin. We have not ever been to Yellowstone. I want to do that trip in the winter. My photo group has done this trip a couple of times and it really gave me the bug to do it too.

For those interested, here are a couple of cabin rental websites in West Yellowstone and Island Park.

It really is a trip worth taking!

I want the details on your cabin too! We already made our plans for this year, but we might follow suit and make it a yearly trip like others we know . . .
