Island Park CYA

CYA--first thing first, if you have never played Covered Your Assets (its a card game). You should. So simple and easy to play. My family is addicted to say the least.

Ever since I was a little girl I can remember going to Island Park with my family. So every time February comes around I can't wait for a weekend at a cabin, going on snowmobile rides, staying up way late, walking the shops of Yellowstone, good food, and most importantly great company! Here are some pics from our latest trip along with some highlights. :)

*Night Ride: There is something about a night ride that I can't really explain, even if my sled did break the first night, I love night rides.



 *So the next day it started out as a blizzard. Then after much prayers it turned into a beautiful, warm, sunny day. My 77 year old grandpa decided he wanted to ride with us. Those who have rode with my family before know that we don't ride the trails, he kept up SO good! We rode about 55-60 miles the first day; did rea's pass, two top, big springs, and helped find a random kid that was stranded.






Big Springs: I'm pretty sure I have a picture here from the past 20 years of my life.

My dad, Aunt Michele, and my Gramps

My two sisters



To think that people rode on this 1988 sled with three people for fun baffles me. Double riding is hard, but triple riding, I can't even imagine to say the least. haha So thankful for the new sleds :)

*Valentine's day isn't just the love holiday in my family, but it's my Gramps birthday. I would like to give a shout out to uncle Ricky for making the balloons (aka what is hanging from the light haha)

 Mesa Falls in the winter is stunningly beautiful, but also scares me. To walk down to see the falls you pray that you don't slip on the ice or stumble on the snow that is covering the stairs and die. Once again I think I have a picture here for about 20 years or so and guess what it never gets old!

My girls

To say we are Daddy's girls is an understatement



Lastly, I just want to thank my sis and Heid. Not everyone will stay up till 2-3 am and talk about life. I love my family, I love snowmobiling, I love the memories that were made and will always cherish. Until next time Island Park.
