We went to the family cabin just outside West Yellowstone. We spent a night in Pocatello, so the kids could show Papa & ReRe their swimming skills at the Holidome. Emma swam like a champ,but Jack couldn't get over being so impressed with the fact that he could stand up in the pool, and refused to actually swim anywhere.
Next day it was a trip to Bear World. A man who was bummed that there were no more bears in Yellowstone to see set up a park with a "Bear Drive Thru". You have to keep your windows up...like we wouldn't anyway, but the bears are up close and personal! They had some amusement rides which the kids loved, too.
Then we made it up to the cabin. We had beautiful weather. 80's in the day, 45 at night. We ate meals on the deck, boated and threw rocks in the river, and had a great time. Jack & Emma loved walking Winston, though at times it was difficult to decipher who was walking whom.
We came back on Monday to prepare for Tuesday night's party and sleepover at Debbie and Byron's house. We celebrated Aunt Sue's 60th birthday, Corwyn's coming home from rehabilitative care, and the end of our trip. Jack & Emma got the coolest new shoes from their Aunt Debbie - will post pics of those soon!

Wednesday morning we loaded up and headed out, back to FL and Buto - who missed us all so much she happily let the kids pet her as much as they wanted!
