The Peterson Family Reunion

Monday night we surprised the Peterson family and showed up in Island Park, Idaho for the family reunion! It was a fun filled few days and I was so glad that we were able to go. I loved being able to get to know all the Peterson's better. They are all so awesome!

The first night people were still arriving and it was more relaxed. We all enjoyed watching the Olympics at the cabin and enjoying each other's company.

The next day we got up and out the door early to make the trip to Yellowstone National Park. We drove around looking at the beautiful scenery, hiked up to see Old Faithful erupt from a better view, played in a very cold lake where we met a very funny Asian lady who thought Josh was pretty sexy, looked around some tourist shops, ate a yummy malt, and got back later in the day where we played games and hung out.

The next morning we got up and out the house early again where we went to a nearby river. There we floated/rowed down the river. We had canoes and a raft. It got tricky in some parts where the water was really shallow, but it was fun to go down the river. We were on there for a few hours. And the water was FREEZING. So when we got to the very lame rope swing, I had no desire of jumping in. Josh of course did. He made me so nervous as he tried different ways to jump into the not so deep water. However, he didn't leave unscathed. His leg got caught on the rope so he had a pretty big burn on the back of his knee. We still had a great time! Later that night we played "Olympic games" with everyone. It was so fun to see everyone try the various competitions! We had a great time visiting with everyone and we were bummed to drive back Thursday morning. Thank you to all who put in so much effort for the reunion to happen and be fun for everyone!

Everyone watching the Olympics 

Josh has been looking to buy me a hat, and we found this one and loved it! It also says yellowstone on the side. Thank you hubby!! You're the best :)

One pillow in the car, two girls = their solution.  Oh Cami and Chari are awesome :)

The drive home the clouds and sun were gorgeous!

 I apologize for the scarce and random pictures. These were only from my phone which died and we couldn't find our camera. I will try and get some pictures from other people soon :)
