Belle Isle

We try to make a trip to Belle Isle at least once a year.  Last week we went to climb around on the rocks and some of these post-modern ruins.

The Swing is Back

We redid the tire swing.  It is a super fun summer activity.

Teton Vacation

Wow!  What an awesome week.  We spent a week with the whole van der Horst family in Jackson, Wyoming.  We had a lot of adventures.  We saw beautiful scenery.  We dressed up like cowboys.  We got a lift to the very top of the peaks and hiked in the mountains.  We got to do a family adventure climb.  We went floating down a lazy river and through white water rapids.  We spent a lot of fun time with family, playing games and hanging out.

The whole gang.

This old barn made a great photo spot with the Tetons right there in the background.

A stop on our driving tour of the area.

A view from the top of the mountain in Teton Village.  We rode a tram to the top of the mountain then hiked down to another gondola which took us the rest of the way down the mountain.

We saw a variety of alpine scenery.

It was the season for wildflowers.

And we found a patch of snow- enough for a little snowball fight.

The gondola ride back down.

Getting the boat ready for our lazy river float trip.

The water was cold but refreshing.  Jen is ready to get back in now.

The first stop on our 6 mile hike.

More scenery.

We made it to Phelps Lake.

This was our whitewater trip on the Snake River

Laurel and all the girls.

The whole family gathered at the lodge.

We caught a pig wrestling competition in Jackson.

We got to take the whole family on a climbing adventure this year.

A good looking bunch of cowboys.

Family photo

We had Aunt Stephanie up for a visit for the weekend.  It was a fun time.  She took some family pictures, while she was here.
