Life is Good is a fact

We are all back after our "Life is Good" family get together at Henry's Lake in Island Park. It was a good time for all. The kids were in kiddy heaven with all of the cousins under one roof. We had to split them up after the first night so that everyone could get some rest.


Three canoes came with the cabin. They were out on the lake much of the time. I especially liked the early morning rides. Thanks Jeff & Eric.

Bob Franz who owns the cabin we stayed in brought his boat up for some fun action on Saturday. While out on the lake we saw this tornado on the water. It was much more impressive than this picture shows. I will post a better picture later. Very exciting.



We tied two baby quilts for Lauren. She is expecting a boy in November. Jeff became quite the quilter.

The kids all did crafts including making crowns for the girls and visors for the boys. Very creative bunch who proudly wore their new hats.



The cousins also had a treasure hunt. They had a blast finding their "treasure bags".

We ventured into Yellowstone and took the whole bunch to Old Faithful and the Paint Pots. We stopped at one of our favorite lunch stops in West Yellowstone, the Gusher. They were shocked at our group and seemed happy to have us leave (13 adults and 10 kids).

I liked the mornings best, so calm and peaceful on the lake.

Everyone had a "Life is Good" t-shirt. Looked nice in family photos don't you think. The kids thought we were nerds I think, but we loved them.

Grandpa Z stopped up to see us so we were able to have him and Nell in our family pics. These shots were hard to get everyone looking good, but I think we got a few good shots.

The trip was a success. Great food, fun activities and good memories for all. Nobody fell into the lake, the weather was great, even cooled down a bit. We had a bad hair contest one morning so stay tuned for the contest, we are letting the readers of this blog vote. There was some pretty bad hair to be seen.
