Every year we go with the McMurray's to Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park and usually Yellowstone. This year was no exception and was a fun time! We went earlier than normal (Labor Day weekend instead of in October) so we were able to do things that aren't normally open like swim, go on the tram and boat ride over Jenny Lake.
We drove there on Wednesday afternoon and hung out with the family. Thursday we woke up early and got going by 8:30 to Yellowstone and had fun visiting the main sights like Old Faithful. I was not feeling 100% so everyone else stayed and we headed back to our Condo that afternoon. We relaxed with our little family and had a nice evening.
On Friday we went into Teton park and took the boat ride over Jenny Lake and went on a hike to the Hidden Falls. Then we were going to go further but my heartburn was acting up so we went back with the majority of the group for lunch. Then we went up the tram and had a fun time with the whole family on top of the world. We decided not to head down as quickly as the others and we are glad because our tram was quite empty and we really enjoyed the ride down as a result. Allison kept saying "Weeeeee!" It was so cute! Then on the way home to the Condo (about a 3 minute drive) Allison fell asleep so I stayed home with her and let her rest while Justin took Tim swimming.
On Saturday we hiked along String Lake to Leigh Lake and as always, I enjoyed the simple one mile each way hike. After the hike and lunch, our family headed into Jackson Hole where I did some shopping and Justin stayed with the napping kids in the car. Then we all walked around and headed back to the Condo. We decided to ride the ski lift and that ended up being our favorite part! We were able to ride it 3 times and our kids loved it, even if Allie sneezed and we said goodbye to her binkie! Then I headed back into town with Megan and Lorna after dinner and enjoyed shopping for another hour.
On Sunday we got ready early and headed to Idaho Falls for Sacrament meeting before heading home. All in all, the trip was fun but with my diet, it was hard. I had to prepare all of my meals beforehand and with dessert at every lunch and dinner, it was a bit of a struggle. Here are some pictures from the trip!
(Our lense was dirty the first day so the pictures are a little fuzzy.)
