Jackson or Bust!!!

For our family vacation this year we decided to go to Yellowstone and Teton National Parks.   (Our trip happened to coincide with a mountain bike race in Jackson Hole-what a lucky coincidence for Aaron!)  The long hours in the car was a challenge for the kids, but we had so much fun once we got to the parks.   We did lots of swimming, hiking, and animal sight seeing. We even ran into our friends the Jacksons who were staying at the same resort.   


Enjoying the view and a new friend at Jackson Lake.




Here is our cute little cabin.  The kids loved it, and Aubrie couldn't get over the fact that it was made out of actual logs, she loves telling everyone about it. 


Checking out lower falls, it was pretty amazing. 


Aubrie has a very sensitive nose, but she powered through Yellowstone like a trooper. 



This looks like the beginning of "When animals attack"!


Power napping...he won't sleep in his car seat, but on Dad's back-no problem!

Fun. I love it there. Where was your cabin? Were the Jacksons you saw the ones I know?
Strangely enough, when I went there with Nate and his family several years ago they ran into their next door neighbors up there in the main lodge. Neither had know the other would be there.

Sorry for not being more specific, it was Jim and Marie. We were all staying at Colter bay, and we ran into them the last night they were there. It was really fun, we were able to hang out for a few hours and they were nice enough to share their campfire and popcorn with us!
