Teton National Park

We had a fun day trip to beautiful Teton National Park! We can see the Grand Tetons from our back yard...and this is what is on the other side!! We are kind of on a canoe kick right now, I guess. We canoed String Lake, then portaged for 100 yards, then paddled around Leigh lake. It's really cool because you can only get to it by foot. No motorized anything.



Spencer and Lindsey had fun together. What a gorgeous back drop! This is String Lake with the Grand Tetons in the background.


They were beaming with pride as they came to the shore- they were able to steer themselves around the lake a few times and return to shore.

Kami collected a bag of beautiful rocks she was very proud of. She even slept with them last night.

This is Leigh Lake with Mt. Moran in the background. We can see this mountain from our back yard, too...now we know whats on the other side of it! Spencer had some canoeing lessons from Ryan, and learned how to be in the back steering the boat. He had to jump out of the canoe into icy deep water...it took him a lot of courage!

This is the life!

Dallin LOVED the water. I kept putting him up onto the sand, and he kept crawling out into the water.

Fun times...Ryan got so many comments on his beautiful....no, not family, not wife, but his canoe!! It is pretty compared to all the others out there! (he made it in high school)
