We Heart Henry

These are my grandparents. 

JULY#2 158

They’re cool

Always have been, will be forever. One contributing factor to their coolness is that every year, they gather our family and provide five days in a scenic location.  This year? 

Henry’s Lake in Yellowstone.

JULY#2 017

It was cool.  Just like my grandparents. 

JULY#2 140JULY#2 137JULY#2 067

Just like my family.

(Though not cool enough to figure out the obvious demise of that guy in the phone booth who was telling the fishing story, shattered the glass with his bare hands and met his untimely end.)

My uncle's cabin is right next to Henry's Lake so we were vacationing in the same exact spot this summer. That and we both blogged about Yellowstone on the same night. We must be kindred spirits.

BAH! The tribal butt dance! I need to copy that picture from you to have in my collection. It's practically a classic. Too bad we didn't get it on video, since we could probably win with it on AFV. I love the picture of Bennett freezing after swimming and the one where Miles is having a VERY serious conversation with Ryan!
