Island Park

Chris has been working in Island Park this past week and has been staying in a cabin, that his co-worker's grandparents own, with a few other people. On Friday Parker and I drove up and was able to stay the night with them and hangout while Chris worked. He had to work Saturday morning too, which is why I went up on Friday. When they got off work we drove up to Big Springs before going home. It's the beginning of the Snake River and is the clearest river I have EVER seen! We fed the fish and birds and walked over to see the spring where the water actually enters the river. It was pretty cool because you could see all these bubbles where the water was coming up from the ground.

Parker did pretty well, but didn't sleep all that well. I guess he just thought there was too much fun happening that he didn't want to miss it! He was the only one to escape the mosquitos. I was only there for 24 hours and managed to get like 15 mosquito bites!!! Oh well, it was a fun little getaway and a nice change from being home all day, everyday while Chris was gone. The pictures below are from Big Springs.

There was a muskrat that was trying to eat all the bread too. If you look close enough, you can see a couple of the fish...there were some huge fish too! The water is sooo clear... Parker and Daddy Parker was more interested in the birds than looking at the camera! Watching the birds trying to eat the bread...
