Yellow Stone 2014 and Tender Mercies

Sunday, after church and a visit from our home teachers, we headed to Logan to begin our trip to Yellow Stone. We made the 4 hour drive to Logan piece of cake with no incidents to report of. We left Logan Monday morning around 11 a.m. and made it all the way to Malad before our tire on our trailer blew out. We were able to find a tire place that just happened to have two tires in the size we needed. But as they were putting them on they noticed that our axle was bent and would just end up waring these tires out too. So what are we going to do. Luckily most of Nathan's family was with us. The most frustrating thing for Nathan was he felt like he was ruining everyone's vacation. But I'm so glad they stayed with us to help us get things squared away. We ended up spending the whole day in Malad at an LDS church with a park near by. We had lunch and was able to find some shade. We called Nathan's brother Kent and he brought another trailer out to take our trailer back to Logan on. Picked up some dinner at Burger King and because it was so late we decided to head back to Logan for the night and head up to Yellow Stone in the morning. Well on our way through Rexburg we decided to stop at the temple to do baptisms for the dead. To let the Lord know how thankful we were that no one was hurt and that we were grateful to be watched over. We ate at Subway then everyone but Brooklyn and I went into the temple to do some baptisms. Brooklyn and I took lots of pictures of the temple and the grounds around the temple that made the time go by so fast. They were in there for about an hour or so and then before you knew it we were on our way to Island Park. We were so excited to get there that we missed our turn, but when we finally got there the kids immediately changed into there suits and went swimming in the buffalo river. While Nathan and I set up camp. Then prepared dinner. For sleeping on the ground in the tent with our camper cushion as a mattress it was pretty comfortable.
