Family trip to Jackson Hole/Teton's/Yellowstone

I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to blog....Now I am going to do several posts about what we have been up to!

Last time I blogged it was about how excited I was to go on our trip with my family.
Joey, me, Cassi and Savy drove from Farmington to Jackson Hole where we picked up a motorhome we had rented. We then drove about 45 minutes into Teton National Park to the campground we were staying in.

It was such a fun trip, we had my parents, Hiram, Anna and their 7 kids, Lorisa, Travis and 3 of their kids there. The last day we were there Karrie and Marc and their 2 kids showed up. We missed Kate and Keith and their families.

The campground was beautiful!!! We were all parked near each other in our trailers, The kids ran around like wild maniacs the entire time.
Warning.....LOTS OF PICTURES TO FOLLOW....There is no better way to show a trip like this.

Blank and Cabana! They changed each others names.

Notice Annalysha...She either did this or cried whenever I tried to look at her or talk to her.

I hiked every morning together.....The guy in charge of the campground made us buy bear spray because they had, had so many bears around. We didn't see any but we now own $60 bear spray if anyone needs it.





I found this on the trail...WAY back in the mtns..SO COOL! I think it is a Canadian Quarter

Again I looked at her

Shoshone Lake

 
My favorite part of the trip was our run down the Snake River, We had 2 rafts and I had a Stand Up Paddle Board. It was just beautiful!

My niece Lorilei was so sweet to me and made me cry the entire time. Every time she saw me she would run to me and scream "Aunt Annie"..I Love you...I need Hugs....She would sit on my lap forever and talk to me about everything. The crazy thing is she looks exactly like my Kailee that passed away almost 9 years ago. When Lorilei was younger we used to show her pictures of Kailee and she thought it was her. It is so sweet to me that she loves me so much. Her mom will text me with pictures and messages from her to me. What a sweet tender mercy for me!
 


I am so blessed to have the family that I have from my parents, Siblings, My kids and my nieces and nephews. I am very grateful for these trips and how it deepens our relationships.
