Annual Camping Trip

From July 2011 - This is the third year in a row that we have packed our camping gear and headed north to beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming. We were privileged to have Keith, Candice, Remi and Marshall join Katie, Jared and I on our yearly trek. The first and last stop on our trip was to our beloved town of Randolph which is conveniently located on the way to the Tetons. Grandma Beth and boys took time to hang out at the park and get some wiggles out. It helped with the 2 and 3 hour car rides that followed.




Jackson Hole is a favorite stop. Remi shows off his bag of candy treats from the Yippee-ay-oh Candy Store in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.




Ahhhhh -- There they are! The most beautiful mountains anywhere...at least in our humble opinion.




Keith poses as King of the Canoe. What a great time we had on String Lake taking turns canoeing on the crystal clear glacier lake. Sadly, Remi was not up for the adventure and chose to stay on shore with little brother and throw rocks into the water instead. Maybe next trip he will want to try paddling along.




There was plenty of dirt for the boys to play in and boy did they play.




This year we rented a tent-cabin to call home for a few days. With two solid wall and two canvas walls and a cement floor it provided a nice sturdy place to relax from our busy days of hiking, canoeing and exploring the park.




Katie gives Marshall a shoulder ride while we waited for Old Faithful geyser do its thing in Yellowstone National Park.




Who says you can't have clean kids while camping. Each evening we filled up the wash bin with warm water, let them play a while and then stripped them down and tossed them in. All the comforts of home in the out of doors!!




Keith and Candice fell in love with the Tetons just like we hoped they would. Candice was a good sport to give camping a try with toddlers. We all had a wonderful time!!
