This last weekend, we took off for Island Park and stayed in this adorable little cabin, just the two of us! We had such a good time! The cabin had 1 bedroom and a loft with beds, it had a kitchenette, fireplace, grill and a private 2-person hot tub. I am so happy that Dave found this place! It was the perfect way to celebrate our fifth!
We arrived Thursday evening and began making it our home for the weekend. We grilled some steaks and made cheesy potatoes on our griddle. We spent an hour or so in the hot tub that night, too.
Friday, we woke up early and rented a Razr for the day. It wasn't very warm but we were hoping it would somewhat warm up and the sun would come up. We were wrong. It stayed pretty chilly the entire day. The sun peeked out for maybe 30 minutes of our 8 hours of being on the Razr. I thought I'd be fine in a couple layers on top. I was wrong! Although we had a blast, I was frozen. My whole body was tired from shivering the whole morning. At lunch, we rode back to our car and cranked up the eat while we ate. Then we decided to go load up on layers of clothes because that's all we could do. We didn't bring any coats or gloves like we really needed. We're glad we went Friday though because it rained and snowed the rest of the weekend. Can I say, thank goodness for the hot tub and fireplace!

Saturday, we slept in and then went for a big run up by Henry's Lake. Ragnar is next week! On the run back to our car, Dave said, "I'm sorry but I have hostile feelings towards you right now." Which is funny because he was the one who mentioned how far we should go but after I agreed, he wanted to take it back. We got back to the cabin and jumped in the hot tub. After about 20 minutes of sitting in there, it started snowing! The snow wasn't enough to make much of an impact but it was funny to get snowed on but still be warm. That night we went to West Yellowstone. The wind picked up and so we didn't stay long. We just walked around a bit and ate at a pizza place.
Sunday, we woke up to snow.
