Idaho and Yellowstone!!!!!

We arrived in Idaho in the evening and the kids didn't waste ANY time playing with their cousins.  The next day we headed to Yellowstone.  We were able to score a great deal on a cabin just outside of the park and had such a nice time in the cabin and seeing all the sites in Yellowstone. The kids participated in the Jr. Ranger Program and earned their badges.

All the kids paired up and got busy playing...not a minute to spare

Matthew thought Joey was the funniest person on earth!
