Fun in Island Park

On New Years Eve we went up to Island Park to stay with people that also work with the same company as Derek. It was so nice and relaxing but we had a few interesting things happen to us during the trip. On our way up there we were driving on the highway and all of the sudden it sounded like we hit a glass bottle or something. So we pulled to the side of the road only to discover that our passenger side window in Derek's truck was hit by a rock and was completely shattered. Luckily it was still intact because of the lining on the windows. We did finally arrive at Island Park safely. There were three cabins that everyone was staying in. They were SO nice.

We took Halle with us because I couldn't stand the thought of being away from her. She was such a good girl the entire time. Here she is bundled up ready to go over to the other cabin for dinner.

I should have taken pictures of the outside but it was really cold and it was snowing almost all of the time. Most of the time we just hang out by the fire watching movies, playing games, putting puzzles together, or playing Rock Band. My cousins who were up there and Derek and I rocked out to Rock Band.

The guys spent a lot of time on their snow machines. We only stayed two nights but it was a nice little get away. The morning we decided to leave the wind was blowing about 40 miles per hour, if not more. Our cabin was what seemed to be like out in the middle of no where. Luckily we followed a big snow blower/plow out until we got to the main roads or else we would have been snowed in. Some of the drifts were almost five feet tall.

Just as we were pulling into Idaho Falls a rock hit our windshield and cracked it. Honestly, what are the odds? Well, except for the epidemic of window breaking we had a good time.
