Stewart Falls hike for the 4th

Floating the Provo River with cousins

 

2nd day

 We woke up to deer and bunnies hopping around the yard.  It was a pretty warm night, but we figured out how to cool all the rooms down and everyone was happier about that afterwards.

We went river rafting on the snake river after that.  It was so much fun.  All the kids jumped in and out of the boats.  Sam liked swimming in the river and jumped out every opportunity that he could.  We got to see a baby bald eagle, a bald eagle in flight, ospreys, etc...

We wanted a picture with our whole group.  Vivien and Thea were too young, Sophie couldn't go and risk getting hurt again, and Dad who stayed to help all of them stay safe and watch McKay's puppies.

Starting on the left top and going around the boat:

Jordan, McKay, Evelyn, Sam, Ben our boat guide, Lance, Jer, Me, Devin, my Mom and Seth in the middle.

Seth love having Grandma hold the back of his vest.... he had a blast and felt extra secure at the same time.

I love Ada's face in this one.

Tuesday in Yellowstone

We have been promising Ada and Evelyn horse back riding for almost two years now.  It just never worked.  So, we just went all as a family.  Jer found a company that would do a horse back ride and a river rafting ride on the same day.  Everyone loved it except Sam.  He was fine except his allergies to hay went crazy and his head and eyes looked exceptionally terrible.  He was very emotional the whole ride, but we got him changed out of his clothes, washed off and he felt much better.  Evelyn's horse kept stopping to eat, Seth's horse was being led by the guide, Jer's horse wanted to be the leader and tried to keep getting in front of Seth, Ada's horse wanted to make it's own path, mine was great but didn't want to speed up if I asked her to.  It was gorgeous to see up on the mountain. I think Seth has an allergy to something too, because after we were done on the horses his face swelled a little and his eyes were red.  It kept threatening to rain, but it didn't until after we were done river rafting.  After horse back riding, we drove down to the river and got on the river raft. Everyone said that river rafting was their favorite thing that we did the whole trip.  We had our own raft because of COVID-19.  Sam was giggling the whole time and kept getting out of the raft to swim whenever possible. I kept pulling him back into the boat and I think I pulled something in my hip.  I couldn't walk the next day.  We saw an osprey and female elk crossed right behind us in the river.
