The Tetons

Growing up, we took many trips to Teton National Park as a family. My parents were excited to continue the tradition with our girls last week. They took Taylor and Loryn and Jeffrey to the Tetons and Yellowstone by themselves. I am so grateful--there aren't many grandparents who would be up to such an adventure!

The girls had a wonderful time and made a lot of memories. Loryn told my mom that it was "so beautiful, it was like being in a dream." She was also the resident "squirrel spotter." And even though she dawdled a little on the hikes and was scared of the bubbling pots at "Goldenstone," she had a wonderful time.


Taylor was in her element. She loves to hike and be outside. She carried her camera everywhere and documented every moment of the trip with pictures. She was especially thrilled to capture her close encounter with a black bear.

The girls came home laden with gifts, goodies and stories galore. Thank you so much for Grandma and Grandpa for memories that will last a lifetime!
