Our Trip to the Tetons

So, yesterday we went to the Tetons with Mom, Dad, and Carlie. It was a beautiful trip. Mom and Dad planned it as a photography trip for Dad and Carlie. We were lucky enough to be invited to come along.:o) I couldn't get the pics to upload in the order I wanted, and as I am not blogger savy yet, I couldn't figure out how to change the order. So, I'll just tell about the trip and you can guess which order the pictures go. :o)
We started out eating breakfast in Jackson before heading into the park. It was a pretty chilly morning. We weren't quited prepared for that cold, but we managed. Our first few stops in the park were just for picture-taking, but we found a little hike to go on a short ways in. Carter loved being out of the car and having all the room to run and play!
We were originally going to hike in to Jenny Lake, but the clouds were hovering over the mountains, and it looked like we were going to get rained on pretty good. So, we turned it into a short hike and a photo shoot.
We stopped a couple more places on the way out, a cabin, and some pullouts with nice views of the peaks. We ate dinner in Rexburg at Porter Park before dropping Carlie off at her apartment. We had a full day loaded with hiking, eating, picture-taking, and pure enjoyment.:o) It was a good reminder of how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful world. Heavenly Father has given us so many creations to enjoy!!

Oh, and the deer was the highlight of Jake's trip. He, Dad, and Carlie hiked up a mountain a ways to get a good picture of it. The buck walked real close to them then sat down. Here's one of the shots Jake got. I'm sure Jake was just wishing he could take a shot with his bow, not the camera. :o)
Look at those cute photographers!
