Island Park

The Bitner Bunch went up to Island Park Wednesday-Sunday for our annual Island Park cabin trip. We had so much fun together. I love vacations where you can chose to either go, go, go, or just relax and hang out and not feel bad for doing nothing. We still did manage to do lots of stuff though. We floated Box Canyon Reservoir a few times: Me and Mom in the raft one time and the other time Spencer and I took the Kayaks. Wow- was that a mistake for Spencer. His size and the size of the kayaks are not a good fit. I absolutely loved it, but poor Spencer spent half the time floating down river without his kayak, and cutting up his whole body while in the process. We all survived at least. We played horseshoes, had a campfire, lots of good devotionals, good food, road the four-wheelers, did crafts, and went swimming in a really neat thing called the FireHole. The Firehole is this natural current that you climb up to and then jump in and let it take you down river. That was a first for us, so we really liked it. Thanks to Mom and Dad for all the preparation and fun times we had up there!

SO FUN! I think it would be fun for Aubree to answer questions about you and Spencer. Then when Mandi and Ryan get their blog going Mandi could have Aubs answer questions about her. Just a thought. Hope your summer is great!

Nat, What a great job you do with this blog. Watching the slide show made me cry. As I looked at all of the photos and thought about how much fun we all had spending time together. I was overwhelmed with the love I have for ALL of you! Thanks for sharing time with us at Grawmpa's cabin.
