Playing catch up one post at a time: Nolan Famly Reunion Day 1

July 3-6 we enjoyed a reunion with my dads sisters in Island Park, Idaho and also in Yellowstone National Park. John and I left very early on the 3rd and had a quick and easy drive up. We got there rather early so spent sometime at Macks in and a fishing shop waisting time. Once at the cabin the car we rented got a flat tire so we stayed and hung out while the cabin was being cleaned from the last tenants. The cabin we stayed at was huge, it slept 33 and had six and a half baths. Around 3:00pm everyone else began to show up, this was Johns first time meeting my dads family so we had lots of introductions.

That evening John went out to put the spare tire on the car and ended up being the entertainment for the next little while, which John wasnt completely thrilled about but he got the tire taken care of with a bit of help from my Brother in law, Mitch.

Katie had many adoring fans, all the girls were happy to keep her entertained and she loved the attention.

Later that evening we gathered around the firepit and dad gave some histories of our family members and we socialized it began to rain and we all headed inside except for John and our nephew, Luc, who made it their job to keep the fire going despite the soggyness.

I stayed busy keeping Katie safe and out of things in her new environment until bedtime, she wanted to be where all the older kids were. By the end of the day we were very excited for the next few days and the time we had to be with family.
