Tetons

I love the Teton Mountain Range. It is probably my favorite and that's saying a lot considering I've been to the Andes mountain range in Chile and Argentina. I just love how jagged the peaks are. I took this shot out the car window so it isn't the best.

This is a campsite at Signal Mountain. We stayed in the tent trailer and Amy and Randy camped on our site with us in a tent. Dad, Mom and the boys stayed in a little cabin thingy. Which turned out to be a blessing because we all went over there one night and took hot showers. Another night we stayed up with Amy and Randy and burned a huge box of firewood until 1:00 am and told stories and laughed and had a grand old time.

The morning we left we all went shopping at the Gift Store where my Aunt works and then we went down to the lake because the boys wanted to throw rocks in it, of course. And sure enough Adam clocked Jacob on the head with a rock about 10 minutes after Randy told us the story of his nephew hitting him in the head with a rock. See that hat on Adam's head. I convinced David to buy it for himself and I love it. It's kind of Indiana Jones-ish. Jacob picked out his hat at the Gift Shop too. Adam got a glow-in-the-dark moose shirt.

Everyone down at Jackson Lake

In the red circle in the picture below is a black bear that we saw at Signal Mountain. Uncle Bruce had told us that he had been around for the past while and David told him that when he came back Bruce should come get us to we could see it. In all my trips to Yellowstone I have never seen a bear. Well, the last morning Bruce came and told us to drive on the road over to the boat ramp and they would be chasing a bear out of the campground and we could probably see it cross the road. (I'm pretty sure he wasn't supposed to be telling us this but that's why Uncle Bruce is so cool!) Sure enough the bear crossed the road right in front of us and then meandered around the woods for awhile. Mom and Dad got to see him cross the highway too. David has always said he never wanted to go camping because he was afraid of getting eaten by bears and lo and behold his first trip he sees a black bear. It was awesome. Thank you so much Uncle Bruce and Aunt Rose. The campsite was great, the company even better and I must say the bear sighting the very best (the 40% discount at the gift shop was pretty great too!).
