Knoll Family Reunion

We had an amazing family reunion in Island Park/Yellowstone! Here are some of the highlights from our wonderful trip. Above is a picture of the family in front of Old Faithful. What is a trip to Yellostone without seeing Old Faithful?

Carson had so much fun exploring nature! Bath time never came quick enough for him. By the end of the day he was covered head to toe in dirt.

The family at the Continental Divide in Yellowstone

Korbin taking a break from one of the many treks we took throughout Yellowstone

Us as the Paint Pots....one of my mom's favorite places in the park!

Korbin & his cousin Tanner enjoyed their ice cream after seeing Lewis & Clark at the Yellowstone Imax Theater

We went rafting down the Henry's Fork of the Snake River. This is a moose that we saw while floating down the river

Hayden, our fearless leader...He guided us through the trecherous waters of the Snake River. He was a very brave boy to take on this calling. (It was so wild we probably could have walked the whole thing and made it before the rafts did...but the water was too cold! There were no class IV rapids...not a rapid in sight...the water was to your ankles in most parts...but we had a wonderful time)

Grammy Knoll and Hunter

Pierson was in charge of getting his Papa and Grammy Knoll safely to the docks

The girls and thier little ones at the beautiful Mesa Falls

Eric and the boys spent much of thier time fishing. Hayden and Pierson become quite the little fly fishermen. The two boys loved thier new found freedom in the wilderness! If we weren't trecking through Yellowstone we found them at the river or lake fishing!
