The girls finished school on Friday, May 27th. We left almost immediately for Island Park for a Memorial Day weekend getaway. The kids did really well for the car ride. We pulled in a little after 8 that night, unloaded the car, and went to bed. On Saturday, we introduced the kids(and ourselves) to geocaching. We didn't come on our trip prepared with prizes to trade and Ashley was quite upset after our first find, to realize that we didn't actually get to keep the treasure. The first treasure we found was called angry birds, although nothing inside of it was related to angry birds anymore.
Our second find was a book cache. We just looked at it and celebrated for finding it. The third treasure hunt came up empty handed and Ashley finally understood why we can't just take the treasure when we find it.
On Sunday, we decided to make the Sabbath a delight by heading to Yellowstone to enjoy the beauty of God's creations. It was a beautiful day. We explored different parts of the park than we had last time we went(two years ago). We still saw geysers...
but we also saw some pretty amazing waterfalls.
Tyler's favorite thing to do was to throw rocks into any body of water.
We came across this pay phone and asked the girls if they knew what it was. They didn't. Oh, how times have changed in the last 20 years. I didn't even know that these still existed.
On Monday, we packed up, cleaned, and headed home. It was a fun getaway.
