From Wednesday, 3 August 2011
to Saturday, 6 August 20ll we held a family reunion in a "cabin" provided by my daughter-in-law's parents in Island Park, Idaho. We had a grand celebration with my children, grand children, and great grand children participating. There was lots of eating of good food, visiting and talking, playing games, visiting the Big Spring and feeding the enormous trout that habituate said spring - big enough to form a Henry's Fork of the Snake River. There were bonfires at night to stimulate talking. Three car-loads of us made a trip into Yellowstone Park. We didn't see a lot of wild life. We saw a beautiful new spread of trees that have germinated since the wide spread fires of some years back. We cooled off with ice cream cones at Old Faithful Lodge, and we saw that Old Faithful was still faithful - putting on a display for many hundred spectators gathered on the benches strategically placed back from the spray of the geyser. There were many smaller geysers and "hot pots." There are some photos included of Old Faithful and the other geysers. There are also three pics of the "cabin" that housed all of us so amply. It was a wonderful family reunion. My sentiments to those who could not make it this year. I hope there will always be a "next time." Love, Dad/Grandpa/George.
