Island Park July 2008

We were able to spend 5 days with our wonderful friends Steve and Deb W. at their cabin in Island Park, Id. We went last year with them and enjoyed it so much they invited us back. The pictures below are of the things we had so much fun doing. The only thing I didn't get pictures of was all of us golfing. (forgot my camera) We rode the 4 wheelers, fished, golfed, looked for wild life, went into West Yellowstone, floated down the river, and ate good food. We're so blessed to have such good friends that love to do the same things that we do.

One thing we love to do is go 4 wheeling. Twice we went on a big ride. Each consisting of about 25-35 miles in the mountains. This is Elk Lake and it was huge but so hidden way up in the mountains. The scenery was spectacular.

The day was so beautiful for us to enjoy the river and some fishing. Rog caught the most then me and then Steve. We would float down the river then find another good spot to fish.

I just had to post this picture of Roger as he fell in the river. The water was so darned cold. Debbie was trying to get into the boat and then dropped her expensive sunglasses in the river as she bent over the boat so I jumped in to find them. As I turned around Roger was falling

in the water also. I had my camera out just in time to capture the look on his face.

We ate lunch at this really nice lodge. The food was awesome. Notice the sign at the top says "The Pines at Island Park"..haha..

Here's one of my little fishies I caught along the way on our float trip. They were so small so we just threw them back in the river.

Rog and I relaxing and enjoying our time away from home and work. It was a much needed vacation.

For the second year in a row we floated down the river at Macks Inn. This time we took our fishing poles and caught a few fish along the way. If you've never had the opportunity to do it you should. It's so beautiful.

We all went fishing at Henry's Lake. It's just down the road from their cabin. Debbie read her book while the rest of us fished. We didn't catch anything but we had some good laughs.

All over at Island Park the fields were filled with these gorgeous wild flowers. We came at the most beautiful time. This picture was taken right out in front of Steve and Debbie's cabin. Other colors you could see were orange and yellow. Fields and fields of them.

Here's one of the moose we saw while on our trip. It only had one set of antlers. Crazy huh? Almost every night we went looking for some kind of wild life. We saw deer and moose.

We are so blessed to have these two as our friends. We always laugh so hard and we can just be ourselves around them. Thanks Steve and Deb for such a fun 5 days at your cabin. We love you!!
