Island Park Messick Trip

We took the most wonderful trip to Island Park with my side of the family at the end of June. We stayed in this awesome house that had tons of activities and lots of space. Here are some highlights:

My dad rented canoes that we loved rowing around on! The house was right on the water.

Cameron was so excited about the fishing and fished whenever he got a chance.


smores at the firepit!

I love this picture SO MUCH. This was after our family canoe ride.

 Some highlights from our day in Yellowstone! It actually wasn't our favorite...none of us had cell service and we lost Rachel and Jake's car (that had Andy in it). Also it was a whole lot of driving and a lot of traffic. But still fun! These buffalo caused a really long traffic delay that ended up with me trying to pee into a cup in the car. Considering I was 8 months pregnant, it didn't go very well.

Max's style this whole summer has been SO GOOD. Every outfit is very intentional and thought through carefully and it's hilarious.

Violet rode this around the wrap around porch over and over and over again.

We sang to my mom for her 60th birthday! It really was such a fun week!

Some major highlights not pictured: all the spike ball the boys played. Also, we got really into a game called Secret Hitler we played almost every night. It was such a great trip and I'm so glad to be part of such a great family!
