Roadtrips and Reunion in Yellowstone

 From Arizona our first stop was South Jordan, Utah. The boys did amazing in the car!  Can't be that bad when traveling in Grandma and Grandpa Hinton's car with a DVD player.  Strider had to part ways with us. He drove our car to Las Vegas to start his first rotation of 4th Year doing family medicine.

 We stayed with my oldest brother Bryan and his family.
Cousins- Carlie, Tanner and Tolman are with me as we watch Uncle Bry mow the yard.

It was fun to hang with the Utah crowd and of course listen to Papa tell stories.  We also were able to attend the blessing of Travis and Shantell's newest addition Hauxton Crew Hinton.

This next picture starts the numerous reunion photos from our Rick Hinton Family Reunion.  It was held at a cabin in Island Park, Idaho... another road trip!  The boys had an amazing time with cousins, dirt, and Yellowstone National Park nearby.

Right down from our cabin was Big Springs, which produces 120 million gallons of water per day.  The water leads into Henry's Fork of the Snake River.  These next photos are from our Yellowstone adventures.

Couldn't visit Yellowstone without seeing Old Faithful (as well as several other geysers).

The boys also loved Lower Falls.

These boys sure had some spunk!

Make sure to check out Tolman's typical scowl...

While roaming around Yellowstone, we stopped and enjoyed a picnic lunch and some water time near the lake.

We saw lots of elk and buffalo close up!

If you look carefully I also saw this guy.  That bear was fast!

After a slight detour from Yellowstone, we eventually made it back to our cabin.  A favorite feature (besides the numerous game rooms) of the cabin was of course the hot tub. Thankfully the boys could enjoy it!  What an amazing time we had together- playing, talking, sharing and listening.  So grateful we could attend family reunions this summer!  What a memorable trip.
