Island Park- the greatest place on the earth!

I went up to my cabin in Island Park, ID a few weeks ago for a family reunion and it was one of the funnest weeks I've had up there! We did so many fun things- the week was packed with nonstop action!

This was one of my favorite pictures from the week. Papa moose just loved our lawn!
4 wheeling- always awesome!
Survivor, Fife style! This was so much fun- the whole extended Fife family split up into 3 teams: Moose, Fish, and Canoe, and we competed in about 5 different events. It was so much fun and brought everyone together because there was a job for everyone.

This was the event I participated in- it was a relay where a little kid had to catch a fish, put it in a ziploc bag and run about 25 yards. Then they handed the bag off to me, I had to put it in my mouth and grab my tube, run up this little stream for about 15 yards then come back down and slap the next kid's hand and do it all over again. It was so tiring but soooo funny! This is a picture of me coming in 1st! yeah baby! BUT about 4 seconds after this picture was taken, my brother (who was on another team) came and tackled me, trying to get me to lose! Little cheater! haha! But we still won! The last part of this event was that the dads had to drink the fish... who came up with that idea?

These 2 moose hung out right in front of our cabin the whole week! We saw them every day around the same time. It was so awesome! They are so much fun to watch!
We got hooked on playing horseshoe. Greatest game to pass the time.
I always LOVE hanging out with my sissy. She is the BEST!!!
A few days after I opened my mission call we went down to Idaho Falls and I went through the temple! It was so amazing!!! The Idaho Falls Temple was so beautiful! Going through with most of my family there was so special!
Of course we floated the River. You can't go up to the cabin and not do that! Dave and Becky's canoe flipped! They had Suzie, Ben and 10 month old Molly with them! Disaster! But everyone was ok.
And last but certainly not least, we became trappers on this trip. You could kind of smell skunk around our cabin so my dad called this guy to come bring some traps for us to set up so we could get rid of the stinky guy. We never got the skunk but we caught about 9 squirrels...
...and a raccoon!!!
