After a few amazing weeks in Colorado we headed for Wyoming where we spent two weeks with family and friends exploring the Grand Tetons National Park and Yellowstone National Park. I was able to have these two weeks off of work to soak it all in! So blessed!!!

Heading to parks with the Tetons in the distance

Picking up supplies in Jackson, WY

We had a spot at one of the campgrounds in Grand Tetons National Park (without internet service but billions of mosquitoes!)

This little peanut found us! She’s so big after not seeing her for 9+ months

Cousins re-United!

The dare devil

Jackson observing how the older generation builds a fire - later he started one with flint and steel and a cotton ball.

Biking time

We found the perfect place in the campground with the perfect view

Morgan is such a great helper

Found the falls!

It rained then hailed as we got closer to the falls - boys didn’t care!

Jim helped us spot a moose on our hike back from the falls

Rainbow after the down pour!

Lots of drive time around the parks meant the boys could catch up on video games 🙄

So many bison and no fear of vehicles

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS

The last few days of our vacation, we moved to a hotel at the north entrance of Yellowstone in Gardiner, MT. Kelly is always good for entertaining the kids while we wait for our food!

Kids happy hour at the hotel

One afternoon we went white water rafting and the river was fast! When we rafted in Colorado a few weeks back, the CFS was 2300!

Brave crew!

Here we go!

The kids paddled for a few minutes then moved to the front to bull ride the rest of the way

The next day we drove into the middle of nowhere Montana to ride horses

❤️

Two amazing weeks with family and friends!
