Cousins...

The fun began when we visited our cousins in Riverton Utah. We were able to visit Both Ryan's kids and Teresa's as they are residing under ONE roof for a bit now while Ryan and Amy try to sell their house in Iowa. It was such a TREAT to see them all! So we had dinner and forged on to get to Montana!







How is this for a blow by blow of the L O N G car ride. This was Collette and Brittney's turn to sit in the back seat and boy did they get Chandler back for all his BUGGINESS!!!




We finally arrived and John's mom and dad put us up in a bed and breakfast. We were staying there with John's brother Jeff and his family, his sister's Jacque and Julie and their families. We all had a GREAT time but as you can see the kids sure enjoyed each other.
There is nothing more fun than cousins! They are relatives that you can enjoy and then they go home!!! Take a look at some of the fun...














Here are almost all the Joost girl cousins. We're just missing little Jessica.


and more COUSIN FUN...




more to come...

Yellow Stone Park with the WHOLE Joost Clan...

We had a great time in Yellowstone with all the John R. Joost family. We stayed in a huge cabin in Island Park Idaho, about 20 miles from the entrance of yellowstone. We spent two days visiting in Yellowstone park, where we saw old faithful and these beautiful waterfalls, some buffalo and huge elk. Chandler espically loved the stinky hot pots we saw. We also went to see a play one evening called "See How they Run" at a quaint little theatre in West Yellowstone. We had great fun with the cousins. We had a fun "get to know you family home evening" and a talent show where all the cute Joost grandkids performed their amazing talents. We had such a great time and had lots of fun getting reaquainted with everyone.
