Camping in the Tetons!!!

We just got back from an awesome vacation! We left on Monday night and arrived at Colter Bay in the Teton National Forest at about 1:30 in the morning. My family had already been up there and set up camp for us. On Tuesday, we got up and the boys went for a hike while us girls sat at the picnic table making jewelry... Yes, we did play with little itty bitty beads while sitting in the dirt. At first I thought it wouldn't work and that we were crazy but we didn't lose too many beads :) Wednesday, we went into Jackson Hole and then went to the Bar J Wranglers. They are hilarious and Isaac was so cute! When they would say something he would climb in his dad's lap and say "What he say, daddy?" We did a lot of playing and at the end of the day we were all sooo exhausted. The high up there was only about 75 degrees and it got down to about 35 degrees at night... It was awesome! We had to stay very bundled up.

Grammy and grandpa did some awesome thing to make this such a fun vacation. They put together a goody bag for both boys to play with that had fun little airplanes, helicopters, coloring books, and stickers for a sticker book in it... It also had a ton of candy. Isaac acted like he had died and gone to heaven. This pic is of Grammy stringing a fruit loop cereal necklace for Isaac to take hiking. It was his "Emergency Preparedness Necklace." Grammy helped him get started and he strung 3 little loops on it and then he wanted her to do the rest. He wanted the benefits without the work... Grammy caved :)
One of Isaac's favorite thing to do was to play in the dirt and pine needles. He was playing like he was a dump truck and he would move the dirt from one place to the other. This face says it all. It doesn't need much more explanation. Needless to say that the first thing we did when we got home was bathe our boys...

Our cute sister and brother-in-law brought up their hammock. This has become quite the popular thing since Kenny has joined the family. Camping just isn't camping without being able to swing in the hammock. Logan had some great quality time with his daddy on this hammock and Isaac thought that it was the best thing to run and swing into the hammock.
Here is Logan doing what he does best! Eating and being cute. Camping with little ones is quite a bit more difficult than without. For instance: Logan would wake up like he always does at about 6:30 AM and he would want his bottle ASAP!!!! Well it's not as easy as turning on the faucet and having warm water pour out. We would have to wake up grandpa to get his burner out. Then we would have to hook up the propane tank and then go down to get some water from the water place... After that we have to heat up a pot of water with his bottle sitting in the middle of the water..... It was quite the hassle. We just about had to do that with all the feedings. It was a hassle but so much fun...
Thank you mom and dad for making this such a great trip for me and my family! We love you so much!!!!

  1. So, so fun!! I am really jealous! I would love to go on a trip like that. I have never thought about how it would be to take a non-nursing baby!! That sounds like a big hassle!! I'm lucky that all I had to do with Brylee was expose myself when she woke...haha!
    I love the pictures - your boys are so stinkin adorable! I just want to tackle them and kiss those cheeks! :)
