Ok, so I meant to do this post a while ago because even more has happened since then. However, sick baby, travels and just stinking tired hasn't let me catch up. I'll try this week. But first let me finish our trip to the Tetons. To back up, after the family reunion we had decided to take a trip up to the Tetons and Yellowstone because we were so close.
We left in the rain and set up camp. Marybeth left even earlier and found us a great campsite. Dad was clever enough to bring a big tarp thingie and we all huddled inside while he did lots of cooking :]. Dad is the best to go camping with, I always feel so spoiled when he's there! He even made us crepes which is a family delight.
The next day it cleared up and we hiked up to some falls around a lake (sorry guys, I can't remember which ones anybody want to chime in?) and took the ferry back. Super fun and incredibly beautiful.
Dee took us to the lodge he use to work at and this picture is actually the spot where he met John Denver. (I know you've heard THAT story! If not make sure you ask him.)
We swam in Jackson Lake one afternoon and the background view were the Tetons. Absolutely breath-taking!
The next day we took down camp, said goodbye to Marybeth and Milo and headed out to Yellowstone. My camera was dead by this time and I didn't bring the charger because I'm cool like that so you just need to use your imagination.
We stopped at Moose Falls where Dee and the kids swam. We camped in Yellowstone and between the two parks we saw three herds of elk, coyote, deer, antelope, two bears and a buffalo. We saw Old Faithful shoot off and some hot pots with the most amazing colors. It was a fantastic time and I am so glad we included it in our trip!

Beautiful pictures. Sounds like a blast. I still haven't ever ventured to those parts...it's on the list. Your kiddos are getting so big. Your parents look great...tell them hello.
Oh, and let's just say you're not the only "cool" one. I ALWAYS forget to charge or bring batteries for the camera. My classic "coolness" was when the camera died the first hour at Disneyland, right before Tigger. Ya, I'll give you a run for your money. Anyway :)...glad you got the shots you did.
sounds like you guys had a great time. next time you are in Idaho, give us a call would like to see you again. I can't believe how grown up your children are getting.
