Island Park

Labor Day weekend found us in Island Park again. We try to get up there when the cabin is available. I love the memories my kids make there. 

Everyone got a chance to go fishing this time. We went to the reservoir and had pretty good luck. That or else a pretty good fisherman was helping them out {a pretty handsome one too}.

It was a little chilly, so those of us who are not actually polar bears bundled up.

I guess Molly got her Daddy's polar bear genes.

Their daddy is trying hard, but these girls might be fisherman like their mom - the kind who like to sit on a bank and read a book or watch nature. 

Ben was all-smiles when he reeled his fish in. He was usually nowhere near his pole when the fish bit, but he'd make it back by the end of reeling it in.

We drove up Sawtelle Peak. It's incredible to be there and feel like you are on top of the world.

Floyd spotted a bear somewhere in the middle of this wilderness on the drive down the mountain and we watched it through his spotting scope for a bit. At one point, the bear climbed to the top of a very tall pine. It was fun to watch.

We made it into the park on Sunday. It was awfully chilly, but we braved the cold for a bit.

We had such a great trip! We've been there lots and lots of times, but we are always glad we take the time to go again.
