So on Sunday all of Preston's family packed up and headed toward Yellowstone. We rented a cabin but it was not ready until monday so on Sunday we drove to Rexburg and stayed in a hotel. Once we got there we grabbed a bite to eat and drove to a park that we had heard of, it was an awesome water park that was free!!!!! Of course the second all the kids saw that we were done for, so we let them play for a while until they got to cold, we also noticed a carousel ride right next to the park but it was closed because it was sunday. So Monday we had some time to kill so we went back to the park, this time we took the kids to the part of the park that just had a playground so they wouldn't get wet, and as we get there we see a huge van, well come to find out Rexburg city provides lunch for any child 5 days a week, for, again, FREE!!!!!!! Any child gets free lunch, it was awesome, so we got all the kids a lunch and then went to ride the carousel, that was only 1.00 a ride and the ride lasted like 3 or 4 minutes, it was great.
This is Emma after the park, she was asleep within 30 seconds
Since Emma has such bad car sickness we let her get in the front seat once we got to the dirt road with no traffic, she loved to help her daddy drive the car.
We got to the cabin and were so excited to see how big it was. Preston has six brothers and sisters and four of the seven were able to come with there families and we all got our own rooms with our own beds and still had rooms and beds to spare, it was great.
Tuesday we headed for west yellowstone...we drove the lower loop that is only about 90 miles but ended up taking about 9 hours to drive. We saw some wildlife that included buffualo, elk, a wolf, antelope and a bald eagle. We stopped at the upper and lower waterfalls, old faithful and to see some geysers.
On wednesday the guys got up and went fishing for a couple of hours then we all just hung out at the cabin and played games, then we went to dinner at the Pines restaurant. That night we stayed up late playing games. It was great fun.
