Lincoln Log House

Before I was even 1, my family has spent a week in Island Park, ID during the last week in July. The week was spent at a timeshare condo with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. After all the additions to the family, there were 17 people sharing the unit which consisted of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We all loved it and have the best memories of our summer vacations there. The timeshare is still in the family, and we take turns every year. Not far from Island Park is a wonderful area in which my aunt and uncle bought land and built a cabin on, which definitely puts the condo to shame!

My parents had plans to spend a few days at the cabin with my aunt and her husband, and the boys and I rudely crashed the party. I'm fortunate to have a rock star aunt that graciously put up with our noise. I'm glad she did because I think the cabin is like a bowl of yummy soup for the soul. We had such a fabulous time while we were there.

One day we rode ATVs up a mountain coated with wildflowers in which a natural spring sat that you could drink from. Stunning views....you could even see the Teton mountains in the distance.

The following day we celebrated my dad's birthday. We spent the day driving through Yellowstone Park. It was a beautiful day and we saw a lot of wildlife including bison, elk, and a mother bear with her 2 cubs. It was a great day to spend with a great man!

Our last day we relaxed and fixed a big dinner for family and guests. My sister Carrie, her hubby Bobby, and his family were up to spend time at the condo and came over to eat and visit. Zach was very excited to get in his Uncle Bobby time! 

Zach told me the first day we were there that the cabin was a Lincoln Log house and that he so loved it. Even a 3-year-old knows what a special place it is.
