Cabin Sweet Cabin

We decided to spend Memorial Day at Henry's Lake.  Jason loves to fish there opening day and the kids and I decided to tag along this year.  We planned on renting a cabin instead of tenting it as usual, which proved to be a wise choice since it snowed a good part of the weekend.  We weren't able to do as much outdoors as we would have liked, but it was quite beautiful watching the snow come down through the windows of our cozy cabin.

There was a huge moose head right by the front door which Owen lovingly called "Pooh!"  There was also a deer head and other woodsy features.  We loved the pellet stove, which made the cabin very toasty and had a campfire smell.  When it was too cold to go outside we played games and made cookies. 

Jason and the kids enjoyed fishing together and were lucky enough to catch a few trout.  We went on some very scenic drives around Island Park and Yellowstone, spotting moose, a fox, buffalo and a bear.  We took a trail to see Artists Paint Pots, a popular thermal area in Yellowstone we hadn't visited before.  We loved the colorful hot springs and mudpots.  The colors in Yellowstone always amaze me.  It was fun watching Owen get excited about everything around him.  He really loved one of the mudpots and kept pointing at it as he bounced in his stroller.  All of the kids enjoyed the trail and I'm sure we'll go again soon.  

Overall the trip was fabulous and we made some pretty great memories!
