Yellowstone, Island Park, Bear World

Wow, I am almost finally done updating pictures from our recent trip. We went so many fun places and took so many great pictures I had to make sure I took lots of pictures. The pictures are in such random order since I got some from my dad as well. This was the first trip for the kids to Yellowstone, and I have to say the highlight of the trip for them was Bear World, the fireworks on the 4th of July, and the hot tub at our condo!! They thought the hot tub was there own swimming pool. I really enjoyed going to Bear World and the play we went to see called Beverly Hillbillies 90210. Seeing the mountains did make me miss seeing the mountains all the time, but I don't think I would be saying the same thing if it were the middle of December and below freezing. Thanks to my parents for getting the condo. The kids always have so much fun together and Bear World was a big hit. Lexi and Trey loved all of the rides, petting the animals, seeing real bears, dear, moose, elk, and baby bear cubs.

One of my closest friends from dental school. Joy and her kids met us in Idaho Falls for a few hours. It was so great to see them again. We love their family to pieces.

Seeing those real bears would have scared me! Bear World will definitely be the Platt's next family trip. The girls would love it.

It looks like you had a lot of fun! I'm glad you were able to go. It was great seeing you while you were here!
