Jackson Hole

A couple of weeks ago we went camping to Jackson Hole. We had tons of fun! We went with my family. It was so much fun because all of my sibling, their spouses and kids we all there (and of course Mom and Dad). Being all together does not happen very often since Ali lives in Kentucky and Megan lives in Spanish Fork. We decided to drive up after Chloe's dance review. It rained and rained the whole way up there. We watch the temperature drop and drop and keep dropping until it got in the 30's. Did I mention we were sleeping in tents! We got to our campground around 11:30 and thanks to my dad our tent was all set up. That night I think I nearly froze. Chloe was as snug and a bug in a rug. I don't think she moved all night. She may not have been able to since she had 6 blankets on her. Tessa was scared so she got to sleep with me. We toughed out a cold night but we survived and were excited to have some fun. The next morning we decided to needed to go somewhere because it was just too cold to stay at our camp. We decided to go to Jenny Lake and Jackson Hole. Jenny Lake was so much fun. It is beautiful. We hiked half way around and then rode a fairy back. Chloe thought we were going to ride on a princess type fairy (s0 funny), The kids did so good with the hike. Chloe at Jenny Lake

This picture is out of order but this rock was in our camp and it was a hit. The kids called it there rocket ship. They played on it all day long.
The fam all bundled up at Jenny Lake.

The next day we decided it was too cold to stay at the camp ground so we went to Yellowstone.

Me, Chloe, and Christopher at a waterfall. Chloe was not going to let go of us. She is terrified of heights.

Here was are in front of the Yellowstone sign. Christopher was so excited to go to Yellowstone since he had not been there since he was like 5.

On our way out of the park we even got to see a Bear.

The last night it did warm up and we had a lot of fun in the tent. Everyone one slept great. Tessa is happy after a good night sleep.

By the end of the trip we were all a little silly. Being with cousins for 4 days straight does that to a 4 year old.

One happy and might I say messy camper!!
We did go down the Snake River on Saturday morning. I think I will save that story for another post.
Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us on such a fun camping trip. I am embarrassed to say this was the first time my girls went 'real camping'. We always just go to the cabin in Bear Lake. We love it there but we had so much fun hopefully we will make it camping a couple of times each summer. My kids LOVED every minute of it.
