Burnham Family Trip

For our family trip we went to Island Park Idaho, with the Burnham Family. Thanks to Lance, (the planner) we have gone two years in a row. I think he enjoys all that goes into finding the locations, scheduling, spread sheets, etc. a little too much :)

It just so happened to be Easter weekend so all the kids had a great time coloring eggs and having a hunt with their cousins. Matt's family wasn't able to go and they were missed greatly!

Ellsie LOVED all of her girl cousins! They were so cute. Rick has three girls, two of which are around her age. She was so excited to see Cam and Owen too. It is funny how well she remembers them. She acts like we are still neighbors.

My mom hates this picture, it is really not the best of any of us but I love it because we are laughing and so enjoying each other. Two of my very favorite people!

When us desert folks arrived to our cabin, it was snowing!! The kids would run in the snow and then jump in the hot tub. Uncle Andrew (11) was "supervising" :)

We took the twenty minute drive into Yellowstone and we really enjoyed it. It was beautiful. Breckan and Dallin posing in front of the hot pools.
If you haven't been, the hot pools and geizers smell like rotten eggs. The boys, being boys had many jokes about the pools, the animals and the huge piles of Buffalo poop.

We were stuck for awhile behind some buffalo. They came right up to our car. It was awesome.

We left on Sunday to go to Lance's parents for Easter dinner. On our way through Rexburg, we stopped to see the new temple. It is absolutely gorgeous!



Just when my kids thought it couldn't get any better, they made it to grandma and grandpa's and saw most of their other cousins. Grandma had a very fun egg hunt and made us a delicious dinner.



Lance is already planning next year. Shocking, I know. But we are grateful that he is on the ball because we look forward to it every year now.
