Vacationing Bubs

We are now back from our 10 day trip to Idaho. It was a pretty good vacation for the following reasons:

• We were doing something in water for 5 out of 10 days.
• We got to do things we normally don't get to do.
• We were well fed at minimal expense. (Yes, I'm a mooch.)
• Lincoln not only learned how to crawl on hands and knees well, but also learned how to climb stairs, and climb a crib.
• The Dodgers won 8 of 9 games.

Day 1:

We got to Steve and Sharon's cabin by 1:00. They took us down the Snake. Both Clark and Derrick fell out at Kahuna.

Day 2:

We went down the Snake twice more. Clark, Steve and Lauren all fell out of Kahuna, making Matt, and Sharon the only members of the Parry family that didn't fall out, and Clark the only 2 timer.

Day 3:

Sunday, we headed back to Idaho Falls to visit with Grandma and Grandpa, we stayed at John and Renee's house.

Day 4:

Spent the day in Idaho Falls, went and fed the geese on the side of the river.

Day 5:

Went wakeboarding with the Fullers, I of course couldn't get up despite trying about 20 times. Ange got up right away. We cleaned up, and headed out to Island Park to Angela's Aunt Teresa's Cabin.

Day 6:

Went to Big Springs and West Yellowstone.

Day 7:

Went out on Island Park Reservoir for most of the day. Me and Ange were still too sore to try anything from our previous boating trip. When we got back, genius bubs made some pretty sweet dutch oven cobbler. Not so genius bubs took forever to cook the dutch oven turkey.

Day 8:

Ange and I woke up early to go see Mesa Falls, we spent some time there, and then hung out at the cabin for a while. Then we decided to take a huge group of people, and float down the Henry Fork of the Snake. We got let off a few miles up the river, which was a bad idea because the river is slow, and the wind was blowing upstream. When it became obvious that we weren't going to get back to the cabin ever, me and Jordan Miller pulled the rest of the rafts down the river. Everyone was miserable by the end of the trip because the water was cold and it was windy. Lincoln enjoyed the first half hour, but then got fussy. Luckily, he slept the last hour of the float. Smores at the end of the day made up for the debacle.

Day 9:

We went to Yellowstone and saw Upper and Lower Falls, The Mud Volcano, Isa Lake, and Old Faithful. We headed out through West Yellowstone, and tried a Buffalo Burger. I'd have to say I was dissapointed. Mike Fronk made us Buffalo meat one time and it was delicious. This stuff was just like a hamburger, but drier.

Day 10:

We packed up and came back home.
