So last weekend we went to stay in my dad's friend's new $1/2 million cabin. It was amazing. The old cabin was a nice getaway, but it was old, small, and didn't it fit the whole family very easily since we have added a few new members to the family. The new cabin is a real retreat. Who needs Hawaii when we've got this cabin easily accessible. I didn't get very many pictures of the beautiful cabin or the amazing location because I was having so much fun getting pictures of Kelty and the boys.
We went up on Thursday night with my mom and Lexi and her family. My dad, Nannie, and Quintan came up on Friday and Shayla couldn't make it because she had to work in Price. When Quintan arrived, Alexis, Brad, Quintan and I all went on a five mile boat trip in a Flat Bottom Boat on the Mack's Inn River. It was quite an interesting experience. It was supposed to be a 3-4 hour ride but it took us less than 3 hours and we went slow so Brad could try and fish while we were floating down the river, but he wasn't very successful because he kept having to direct us. Certain people in the boat didn't exactly know how to rowe. Claiming they had a problem with their opposites. It was still really fun and the fish were HUGE even though Brad didn't catch any.
As we were going down the river, I saw a huge bull moose. I was so excited all I could say was "Moose, Moose, Moose" and I didn't get a picture because I didn't have my camera, because I was afraid someone would tip the boat over and my camera would be ruined. It was funny because Brad and Quintan didn't see the moose so they wanted us to roe up stream. Do you know how hard it is to roe a flat bottom boat upstream? Brad did that whenever he saw a BIG fish and they were really big. Now since we had so much fun, Matt wants to buy a canoe from one of his friends and go next year.
On Saturday, we went through Yellowstone. When we got to the gate to pay, we found it was free park day. YAY! But then we found out that a bridge near the beginning of the park was closed so we would have to go around and wouldn't see the whole thing. So first we went to Old Faithful where we found out that the part of the park we were going through was closed because of a wild fire. Rangers were leading cars through, but they were not letting you back out so you would have to go out one of the other exits. So it's a really good thing it was free park day. We only saw one Buffalo all day, but we saw quite a few elk. The bulls were huge and one even bugled for us. Kelty was a really pleasant passenger and overall we had a really fun day. While we were in the park Matt stayed at the cabin to go fishing. He caught a huge one. It ways like 4 pounds and was like 20 inches or something like that. He was sooo excited and I am really proud of him.
Each night at the cabin we got in the Hot Tub with Tucker. That kid is so funny, I can't get enough of him. One time he came and gave Kelty a kiss and said he was her big brother / cousin. So cute. Kelty loves her cousins. Saturday night, Alexis, Nannie, and I made watch bands with our beads. So now we all have really cute watches. We really missed Shay so Alexis and I each made her a watch band.
