With all the family reunions happening throughout the summer, we found a little under 24 hours (non-driving, at least... we've had lots of family-only travel time!) in between Jackson Hole and Island Park for just our family, so we went to the Walters Together Nest, my mom's family little cabin on the Snake River in Island Park, near Mack's Inn. It's the first time since Dani and I were married over 8 years ago that we've stayed there.
We didn't get off to a great start as Liam got sick in the car on the way to the cabin and needed a bath. Luckily for us, there's a perfect bath for a little guy!
Then it continued as the first night wasn't great - Kate decided she didn't want to sleep over night - she woke up around 12:30 and didn't go back to sleep until after 2:30 am! All the while, Dani was feeling ill. It was a rough night! But in the morning, everyone felt better!
We spent some time sitting by the river. It is a calm, slow-moving river and it was nice to have some time with just our family.
Kiddos had a lot of fun playing battleship.
One exchange I heard... Jacob: "I won." Claire: "No, the game isn't over." Jacob: "No, I Won!" Claire: "The game isn't over!" No, I'm guessing "I1!" Ha!
Kiddos liked playing in the river. They could walk a little ways out. I forgot how cold that river is!
In the morning, I got the canoe out (it's heavy, by the way!) and took kiddos for a ride. We went around the island across from the cabin and found out just how shallow the river is on the other side as we bottomed out a few times!
The sunset over the Snake River was beautiful!
