Plastow Week O' Fun!

What a week of fun! Tyson's whole family came to town for a week for vacation, graduation, and a wedding. We spent the first part of the week at Tyson's family's cabin in Island Park, Idaho.

One morning we took two rafts down a quiet little river. We rounded a bend and two huge moose were right smack in the middle of our way - a big bull moose and his wife. These are pretty cool animals to see from a distance, but they are quite dangerous up close! There we were, 4 children under the age of 3 on the rafts (who were excitedly pointing and yelling, "Elephant!" or panting like a puppy), and a bunch of very nervous parents and grandparents, drifting closer and closer. The first raft manged to hug the bank and slip past the animals. Just then, the pair of moose decided to approach. Had our raft (Tyson, Carrie, and Tyler) immediately followed the 1st raft, the moose would have walked right on top of us. As a was, we quietly clung to the bank while the 2 moose came closer and closer trying to decide whether they should eat us or not. Luckily, at about 10-15 feet away, the bull scampered up onto the embankment. After a long look at us, the female followed behind. Phew! That was the adventure of the week.

Tyson graduated from BYU on August 14th and 15th with a degree in Communications - Broadcast Journalism. Here he is ringing the Victory Bell while Tyler gives him a congratulatory hug. HAPPY GRADUATION TYSON! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!

The last event of the week was Dustin (Tyson's younger brother) and Lindsay's wedding in the Salt Lake Temple. Tyler had SO much fun with his cousins all week long and they capped it off by dancing and walking together all around the wedding reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
