Our Trip to Island Park (aka Winter Wonderland)!


Brrr....... This last weekend we headed up to Island Park, ID to see Todd's parents, or as Jaygen would say Grandma and Grandpa with Sage (their dog). It was another long car ride, but well worth the trip. We were all so excited to go and had a great time!! We did a little snowmobiling, went sledding, had a snowball fight, made snow angels, saw some moose, and warmed up in the cabin by the fire! Oh, and we can't forget the many Rummy card games to see who does the dishes. I don't want to rub it in, but Todd did come home with his hands a lot softer and cleaner than mine!!!! :) We also rode to West Yellowstone one day to the "Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center". It was awesome! The boys loved seeing the bears and wolves.

Pace and Jaygen both wrecked and mom and dad slid through for the win!

We always have a good time and wish we could have one more day to play in the snow. Grandma and Grandpa Mullen are lots of fun! Jaygen cried when we loaded in the truck to head home - that shows just how much fun!!! We do have to come home though so we can thaw out! :)

Sounds like fun!! Isn't the discovery center fun for the kids? We are going up next weekend. I am excited but I really need to go somewhere warm to escape winter.
