Jackson Hole 2008

For the first week of July, we headed north...again. This time to Jackson Hole, WY. We had a great time!! Isabelle slept really really well in the port-o-crib in the tent which was a big gamble, but I think we wore her out enough every day so she was super tired at night. We camped on the Boy Scout property. My older brother Dave is the Director at the camp this year so we had fun spending time with his family and his wife's family who also made a visit. We went to the Snow King Resort Alpine Slide, Bar-J Chuckwagon Dinner & Show, Jenny Lake Hike & Ferry ride, Granite Falls Hike, downtown Jackson Hole, Aaron got some fishing on the Snake with Dave, and we had an absolutely great time! Holly was a trooper to do all the hikes all the while being 9 months pregnant and we just heard word that she had her baby on July 9th-all the hikes paid off! Welcome baby cousin Samuel!

Some of those antler are bigger than her!

A big smile on my face after we reache the Jenny Lake Hike "descent."
The hike was long for a toddler trapped in a hike-pack. Luckily the "bink & blank" kept her happy for most of it.
Blondies on the Jenny Lake Ferry Boat ride.
Cuddle time on the boat-Isabelle sat like this on Aaron for a while, it was so precious!
Beautiful Teton National Park!

Snow King Resort Alpine Slide
All this for 2 adults and one toddler-hardly any room for anything else!
Granite Falls Waterfall-the water was super high this year, so we couldn't get very close to it, it was way loud and raging!

Beautiful Jenny Lake-we did this on the 4th of July which was a perfect overcast day for a hike!
Again, raging waterfalls throughout our journey!

Holy Cow! We were there in Jackson, and on the same hike on the same day. Too bad we didn't bump in to you guys. Where did you stay?

(p.s. I tried to link your blog to mine, but it needs an invite from you, so I haven't visited for a while...)

P.P.S. Did you know that I worked (kinda) for Dave at the same boy scout camp? It was the summer just before I met, and married, Dan. So we always camp off Fall Creek Road, if you know where that is.
