We had a fun time July 31st - Aug. 3 at the Bird Reunion. After we arrived, the first evening, a beautiful double rainbow appeared.
Lots of family came to the reunion. Aunt Kim had a full agenda planned for us on Thursday complete with a children's Olympics. It was a great time to play and take pictures.
Braxton found some "natural chalk," so he spent hours trying to make chalk from some rock that he found. We had to bring home some rocks and a bag full of chalk that he spent a long time putting together.
That afternoon we floated down the river. It was a lot of fun! It was Michelle's favorite part of the trip. Not everyone went down the river, but a lot did.
That night, we went over to Aunt Susan's cabin and sat in the hot tub. Everyone except for Michelle, of course. The little alien in her belly wouldn't have liked that. Alie kept asking after that to go back over to the hot tub, but we never got another chance.
The next day, we went to Yellowstone early in the morning. Alex was super excited about taking lots of pictures of animals, but was very disappointed. We hardly saw any wildlife. We saw 1 bison! How crazy is that! We saw some elk and a bald eagle also, but not much more than that. The geysers were cool and old faithful was definitely a highlight of the adventure. Before we left on the trip, we watched the live webcam of old faithful, so the kids were very excited to see it.
On the last day of the trip we left before lunchtime to head home. We stopped in Rexburg to see the new temple (new for us, since we hadn't been back for a long time). We walked through the gardens and took some photos and looked around campus. Both Michelle and Alex miss the place, except for the cold, of course.
It was a fun trip, even though several of the Bird clan got sick and had tummy problems.
