Jackson Hole trip

 We just got back from an amazing weekend in beautiful Jackson Hole.  We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Deppe in their timeshare at the Teton Club.  It was in the Teton Village at the base of the huge, amazing Teton Mountains. 

We had tons of fun and the scenery was breathtaking and so gorgeous!  We spent our time hiking, hot tubbing, riding the tram to the top of the mountain, fishing, eating out, relaxing and spending time with G& G Deppe!

We took tons of pictures because it was so fabulous, so here are a few of our favorites. 

We went to church in Jackson Hole and then walked around the town for a while.  We had to get our obligatory family picture under the antler arch.  The kids loved the park, and had fun eating ice-cream and buying magnets and colored rocks from the store. 

Taylor and Lizzie had fun playing on the slides at the playground where we stayed.  Elizabeth thinks Taylor is so funny lately.  She laughs whenever he comes around, it's so cute. 

Lizzie did pretty good on the drive. She is such a sweet, mellow baby.  The only hard part was her sleeping at night. She woke up several times during the night which makes for one tired mama!  Oh well, who needs sleep, right?!

One afternoon while Isaac and Lizzie were napping we took the tram to the top of the mountain.  It was an amazing climb of 4400 feet and the elevation at the top of the mountain was 10,400.  I got a little nervous going up, because we were so high above the ground.  Taylor and Emily loved it, they had the time of their lives! 

Once we were at the top we hiked around for a while.  We took pictures, checked out the amazingly beautiful views and the kids collected rocks.  There was a little store that sold drinks etc.. and they made waffles.  So we ate waffles filled with sweet Nutella on top of the mountain.  It was unforgettable! 

I actually got a few pics. of Taylor, one with Nutella all over his face and the other he has magnetic rocks on his ears.  Such a cute boy and growing up too fast!

These pictures do not do justice to how gorgeous the mountains are.  It was SO beautiful and such a fantastic day!

The next day we went into Teton National Park and took a boat ride across Jenny Lake.  Then we hiked to the waterfall.  Later we swam in the river, ate lunch on a beach and fished for a few hours.  Everyone had a great day!
(I actually had a terrible migraine so I stayed at the room to sleep with Lizzie. I was so sad to miss such a fun day!)

We love spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Deppe.  We miss living near them and always have so much fun when we see them!  The trip was so perfect and we had a fabulous time!

We drove home late Monday night, and the sunset on the drive through Idaho was amazing!  There was perfect light on the clouds, and there was wheat fields as far as the eye could see.  It was a gorgeous drive home, until the sun went down. 

Here are a few more pics of that beautiful sunset.

It was the perfect way to end the summer.  Now off to do laundry and get back into the real world!  We have had the best summer, and I wish it would last forever.
School starts tomorrow!
