A fun month


Last week in Yellowstone

It has been a busy August. First, the Cummings family came to visit Rose Park. We had so much fun with their family. We had several good meals and several sleepovers. The kids played all day and almost all night. It was good to have them back for a visit. Next, we had the ward campout. Our family went up Thursday and stayed until Saturday afternoon. There were 2 boats in the water the whole time. The family enjoyed going out on the tube. Larna did a little waterskiing. We have great pictures, but I don't know how to post them. I need to figure out that feature some day. Our family then went to Yellowstone with 2 of my sisters and their children. We went on a white water rafting trip. This was everyone's favorite part of the trip. We saw all of the regular sites at Yellowstone. We saw a grizzly bear, but it was far away. We also saw a wolf, that was also far away. We did see lots of elk and bison. We also found a place to swim on the Firehole River, just above Firehole Falls. This was also a favorite. Our children are older now and so we were able to go on some more difficult hikes, so we enjoyed seeing more waterfalls. Now the summer is over and we are getting ready for the school year.
