My Big, F.A.T. Family Reunion




















Back in July/August we attended Corey's family reunion in Island Park, Idaho. What a great time we had. It was called The F.A.T. Family Reunion: F was for the Froebe family, A for the Aldridge family, & T for the Tingey family. We stayed in some big cabins all next to each other. We went to Yellowstone on Friday & Sunday. This was my first time visiting Yellowstone and I loved it! My favorite part was knowing we were on top of a massive Super volcano that could obliterate us at any moment! I know I am a big, FAT science nerd! I always say - "Embrace your inner nerd!" We saw a baby black bear, some bison, elk, caribou, bald eagles, deer, & some squirrels. We also visited Old Faithful & Mammoth Hot Springs, & various other landmarks. On Saturday we spent the day at Island Park Reservoir. We got NO sleep due to sleeping in the same room as our kids, late night game playing (the best was Psychiatrist), & working on Corey's slide show of his grandparents life. Carlie's favorite part was throwing rocks in the water and buying stuff at the grandma store with her FAT bucks. Berkeley just loved being outside and running around. You can tell from some of the pics that he had a LOT of bruises and cuts all over his body due to him thinking he could run downhill. My favorite part was Yellowstone, getting to know some of Corey's cousins that I didn't know very well, & Corey's family history moment (he made me cry seeing how much he loved his grandparents - he cried too - I have only seen him cry a hand full of times in our almost 13 years together). Corey's favorite part was he got to see ME after not seeing me for 3 weeks! Even though I was dead tired and slept for two days when we got home it was worth it!
