Traveling Together: Just Playing

We had planned to snowmobile around Island Park on our last full day, but my sweetie slipped on the ice at Yellowstone and ended up with bruised knees. He worried that if we spent all day sitting on  a snowmobile that the drive home on Friday would be unbearable. So we cancelled our reservations and sent the kids out to play in the snow.
They started building a snowfort, but after an hour of moving the heavy snow, they modified their plan into two "thrones" instead.
My sweetie suggested we head for the pool about 3:00. He had been up early working at his makeshift desk and he was ready to soak in the hot tub.
We were in the pool every single day of our vacation except the day we headed home.
Even Grandpa played volleyball with us in the pool. He is a natural athlete and at 85, he is still a formidable opponent. 
After an hour and a half in the pool, we headed to the gameroom for our last time.
Curly and Scout went against each other for the air hockey championship.
While Baby Doll and I played ping pong. We finally learned the actual rules and that made it much more fun.
We took one last shot at the basketball game, but Scout still beat me. I could only sink 12 in a timed minute.
We truly love this place.  The kids want to make it a new January tradition and I agree. Now we just have to convince my sweetie...

We've been to Yellowstone but not in the winter. Looks even more beautiful covered with snow! Glad you're having a wonderful time!

With a hot tub and games to play, this does look like a great place to go. The snow was a bonus for sure. I hope you can make it a family tradition.
Blessings and hugs!
