island park / yellowstone

last weekend we had a trip to our family's cabin is island park, idaho planned.
of course that was the weekend remington got a virus that involved diarrhea, a fever, and throwing up in my mouth. luckily only one time in my mouth, but seriously, soy formula throw up. is satan.

after a quick run to the doctor's, we got the go ahead with the trip and embarked on the five hour car ride.
car ride with pukey baby is a bad idea. projectile vomit covered me for most of the drive.
luckily, it was worth it. also it was so nice to have my mom's help all weekend with our sick, not sleeping much child. and island park was pretty nice too.

motorcycle and four wheeler rides. yes, that is snow behind us. 

despite the fever, rem decided he was ready to start crawling last weekend. 

mostly scooting, but he has taken those first "crawling steps"? or whatever. 

shooting guns, the great american pastime. 

sunday we went to yellowstone. 

 good old faithful. 

there's a place in mammoth (where we also went hot springing) where the elk just walk all around town in hordes. we heard them bugling and got close enough that a policeman got after us.

had too much fun and giggling with these two.

baby boy was so great and slept a lot of the day. here he is fast asleep in his front pack. 

yeah, it was freezing. 

also, we did some arts and crafts. i painted these for the dining room. 

of course on our way home, we had to stop

at reed's dairy for grilled cheese sandwiches

and huckleberry cheesecake ice cream. 

here's rem with grandma reed. 

it was stressful with a sick baby, 

but my mom helped A LOT. 

travis and i got to spend some time together,

rare these days, and it was great seeing 

morgan and roxanne for days in a row.

also, travis took this picture of me and i like it. 

good work trav. 

xo.
