Van Clan

July 10-14
This year for Van Clan we stayed in a cabin at Island Park, visited Yellowstone, got caught in a rain storm, played at the reservoir, participated in Van Clan Olympics (but sorely lost) and became more familiar with bears, buffalo and elk.


We had a little fun on the lake catching crawdads, getting sunburnt, and swimming in the green "alergy" water


We hiked down a slippery steep trail with a stroller (scary) to get a good view of Yellowstone Falls, so beautiful.

Alyssa caught a butterfly at the paint pots


Despite our busy schedule we still found time to relax and of course roast marshmallows on the gas BBQ
