Cardon Reunion 2012- Victor, ID

A couple of week ago we headed to Victor, Idaho for the Cardon Family Reunion. It felt like a long drive for a very pregnant person, but it was a beautiful little spot in the Teton Valley. I would highly recommend it if ever you are looking for a quite place to be. There are lots of people who have vacation homes there and we stayed in one that was big enough for all of us.

The first day, everyone except the pregnant women and 2 year olds went on a rafting/floating trip down the Snake River. I didn't go, so I don't have photos of them, but the boys had a great time. Back at the house, Mara and I had a wild time watching these 3 crazies.

Wyatt, Jade and Jaren

These two were maniacs running all over the house and yard and finding anything they could to get into or throw.

Jade took a little longer to decide that the boys were safe to be around, but she did plenty of exploring once she warmed up to us.

The next day was a bit of a rough adventure for Wyatt and I. We all loaded into 4 cars and drove several hours to Yellowstone, where we then drove around for the day, and then drove several more hours home. It turns out that kids 2 and under do not like to be in the car all day, and like it even less when they can get out for a while and then have to get back in. There was one kid of car hating age in almost every car. It did not make for the best day of seeing Yellowstone and I think we would all have skipped it if we had known how nuts it would be. We did get to see some cool things while we were there, and hopefully will get to see and enjoy them again some day in the future.

There was quite a bit of wind around Old Faithful, which Wyatt hated, so he refused to walk anywhere. But here we are before we waited to see it erupt.

A cool looking sulfur bed.

Brennan and Tatum near one of the pools. Yes, we realized after this photo that her hat had fallen onto her face.

Wyatt hiding from the wind, with Caleb near a very colorful pool.

Henry looks very thrilled near this huge geyser.

Very picturesque colors.

Just hanging out with Grandma.

A group of kids and parents hiked down to look over the lower falls. A cute group of cousins in all of their bright gear.

Hiking back up the 600 ft incline. They were all very tough.

Just a cute shot of all of the cousins.

Claire and Tatum. These two could be found sitting together a lot during the weekend. Very cute.

Since I didn't get out on all of the adventures, I don't have as many photos of them as normal, but at least I can get more later from everyone else who did take their cameras out.
