Reading Reunion

Each year Jason's family gets together for a reunion, not much of a reunion this year though.  It ended up only being us, one sister, and his parents.  Even though it was a small group we had a good time, and it was very enjoyable, and relaxing. We stayed at the "usual spot" in Island Park.  We went to Yellowstone, fished, floated the river, ate, and just enjoyed ourselves.  


Here is a picture of Elleree and I waiting...........for Old Faithful to erupt.  I really hate Yellowstone,  I hate waiting for things like this, I hate the people.  Only in Yellowstone can you get stuck in a traffic jam waiting for people to stop and take pictures of a bald eagle's nest, when there are signs everywhere that say "do not stop, it will disturb the eagles nesting".  I don't feel out in nature with that many people surrounding me all the time.




Can we all say ooohhh ahhhh.  There was a group of teenagers waiting to see it erupt,and when it did one said " We waited all this time for that".  It made me laugh.  I know I am so jaded.  I have seen these sights before, so they have become unimpressive to me.  Sad but true.


They do make a lovely back drop to pictures though.  Can you see my big belly?


My favorite part of Yellowstone always has been the old lodge.  I think that place it is so cool.  The design is amazing and that it is still there, used (someday I am going to stay there), and that you are able to just walk around is so unique. Jason's family was just chillin on the second floor.



My little family is so cute!!

Back at camp we got down to business making dinner.  Wow this is a good picture of me!

It's been years since I've been to Yellowstone - but even then I remember people doing stupid stuff and inching through the park. I concur about the coolness of the lodge. It looks like you had a good time in spite of it all - so that's good :0)
