As Promised

Well, I am back from vacation and have been for awhile but I am just now getting around to updating the blog. Funny how when you have basically nothing to do you get basically nothing done. You would think that the few things on your "to-do" list would get crossed off pretty quickly but you'd be surprised. Hence the delay in posting, despite having been home for two and a half weeks now. Anyway, as promised, here are some beautiful (well, sort of... I am not really a great photographer) pictures of Island Park Idaho.

Here is some beautiful Idaho wildlife

Ha Ha! Just kidding. That would be my brother Scott messing around with the camera. Please don't tell me you can see the family resemblance :)

This one is my brother Kyle, covered in dust after taking the 4-wheeler to the top of a mountain

These are my roommates (:)) enjoying a kayak (or kyack according to the rental brochure) trip down the Big Springs river. Don't let the jovial smile fool you: Dad later tipped mom's kayak over while she was still in it. Too bad he didn't count on it upsetting his balance and dumping him into the icy river too :)

Me and my sunburned self. The coloring on my shoulder is not a camera trick. I really did get burnt.

A view from the Big Springs river

Some real Idaho wildlife. I really wish I were a better photographer. At least there aren't any random old people in this one though :)

Sunset in the woods

Some blurry wildflowers. I took lots of pictures of wildflowers but a) pictures don't really do them justice and b) my pictures especially don't do them justice. I didn't find the little flower symbol button on my camera that is specifically for taking pictures of flowers until I got home :(

This is a little river that we had to go around on the 4-wheelers.

And that is pretty much it picture wise. We also went into Yellowstone park and swam in the Firehole river, which is fed by geysers and so is not freezing (I highly recommend it), drove to the top of Sawtelle mountain and enjoyed the cold, windy view, almost ran into a moose on a 4-wheeler (I mean I was on the 4-wheeler. The moose crossed the road in front of me), saw much wildlife including the moose, bats, a frog, bald eagles, a buffalo, elk, rabbits, fish, and some bugs, and overall just relaxed and had a great time. Now its back to the grind... for everyone else. I am kind of on permanent vacation until I find a job. So its back to the hunt for me!
