Our Island Park Adventure

Our good friends in our ward, the Barnards, invited us to go to Island park for the weekend to stay in their families condo with them.  We went up on a Friday afternoon and stayed until Saturday evening.  It was so fun! We had never done anything like this before, and we were a little nervous to go, but it was one of the funnest things we have done together all winter. We just really enjoyed the Barnards and getting to know them and their family better too.   

This is the kitchen area just after you walk in.

The dining area.  The snow was so high it almost covered the windows.

Living room area where we obviously hung all our snow gear to dry.

Colby really liked the metal piece on the wall, and wants to make one similar to it.

This was the room we stayed in - just pretend that you can't see the mess on the floor...and that we made the bed right.

Mariah, DaNae, Kevin, Kent, and Keith getting ready to take off on our ride to the boy scout camp there.  I was really worried about going for a long ride, but they promised this would be an easy one.  Colby and the boys went for a heavy duty ride earlier that morning.  It was an soft, easy ride, and we had a ton of fun together.  Kent left just after this to go on his mission to Albania.

After every stop we made, the baby would kick and twist around like crazy.  The poor little guy probably didn't know what to think of all the bouncing and loud noise.

Filling up the machines

On our way to the scout camp, we stopped by this river.  It comes straight out of the ground along here somewhere.  You can barely see it, but there is a tiny cabin on the other side of the river, and a spring with a water wheel.  It was so beautiful.  I wish we could have gotten a closer pic, but our camera doesn't have a zoom on it.

At the same spot, on the other side of the bridge, there were tons of duck there, and people would stop to feed them.  It was so fun.

This is all the snow right by our condo.  The boys would drive over it and park their snowmobiles here.
