Labor Day at String Lake

We spent Labor Day canoeing at String Lake, a lake just above Jenny's Lake.


Beware of Cute Boys.

Spectacular views of the Tetons and luckily we didn't see any bears.

That rowing is tough work!

Cute Sisters. Good times.

Yellowstone National Park

We have talked to the kids for years about Yellowstone National Park and so we went. We stayed in West Yellowstone and packed 17 of us into a hotel for 6 (nice and cozy) but they did have a slide with NO RULZ and this time Reese saved her own life ( she was on some one else's watch.)

We saw bears & wolves at the Discovery Center, so worth it. In the park we saw elk, buffalo, antelope and a car crash. We stopped and watched Old Faithful and I don't believe in the conspiracy theory, it really blows on its own. We ended the day with seeing the Wyoming side of the Tetons and Jackson Lake which are so strikingly beautiful.

Darby Canyon Slide + Grease + Cardboard

We have heard about the Darby Canyon slide repeatedly and so we gave it a try. Of course we couldn't just go down the slide but we had to take cardboard boxes and spray them down with grease. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared.

We got going quite fast and by the end
we had kids flying off doing somersaults followed by tears.

Back To School
