Island Park

This last week, Wednesday-Sunday, my family and I took our annual trip up to the Browning Cabin in Island park! This is a place I have been going to since I can remember and is also a place I have the most fun memories from! We always go to the cabin and go through West Yellowstone to look for animals...our main objective is always a bear but we always have fun regardless! This year was a little bit different...my sister, Erica is currently serving a mission in South Carolina and was not able to go this year. This was her most favorite thing to do...She dreamed of becoming a wolf biologist in West by day and then being owning a restaurant at night when she was little...well realistically it was more like when she was 15 but it was definitely a different trip without her! Our trips always consist of picnic in the park, Ice-cream at Mammoth and candy in West. We go swimming, hiking, rent movies from Elk Creek, and just RELAX!!! It has been our families favorite vaca. and really the only one we have ever taken! Here are some pics so that you can get just a glimpse at the fun we have up there!

Holli and I hiked up to Box Canyon and found a GORGEOUS view!!

A Bull Elk in Yellowstone!

This is the Osprey’s nest right at our cabin road. This nest is here every year and, when I was a kid you could see this thing over the trees…now the trees are too tall! Guess that means I am getting old!

That little dot is one of the bears we saw! It was a huge grizzly!
