The Grand Tetons


A beautiful landscape shot of the Grand Tetons. This mountain range is south of Yellowstone National Park.
John is learning more about our new Nikon SLR camera & he has enjoyed taking photos of our many excursions.


John & the kids stayed in this cabin while in the Grand Tetons. It was rustic, but did provide them with indoor plumbing.
They survived a night without WI-FI & television. Amazing, huh? They were also able to take a hike to Leigh Lake. However, they forgot to spray themselves with bug spray & ended up with multiple (Spencer says a jillion) mosquito bites.


As they were leaving the park, they noticed several cars along the road. Someone had spotted a grizzly bear.
After talking to many people, they were surprised that we saw bears on our trip. Amazingly enough, we were able to see a black bear & a grizzly bear. Kate thought it was cool to see the bears.


This is a picture of John & the kids in front of the Grand Tetons.
Overall, the trip was a great experience with beautiful scenery.

Great pictures John! Are you loving your new camera?
I am so excited you guys have a blog!! Emi and Paige were asking when we were going to be able to visit you guys again, and it was so sad to tell them that we live so far now that we don't know when we'd be able to get over there. We showed them your blog and they loved it ... especially your new little Jane! How cute! They are totally jealous!
We are excited to keep in touch!
