punch bowls

The start of the hike was a wonderful bridge.

We came across some falls.

Then hiked over the falls.



Here are the Punch's. This would be great in the summer to swim.

Mom rock climbing, no it was really not that bad.
Beautiful view

look a rock!
So we did this wonderful hike and when we came down, long horn sheep were waiting for us.
I named them Pat, Jonathan, and Amy.

Yellowstone

Last two weeks of July, we headed to Yellow stone for a 10 day trip. Our first night we stayed in Cody Wy. The next morning we into Yellowstone for a 6 day camping trip. Then we headed to Jackson Wy to explore the Grand Tetons.

West Thumb geyser. The sign is the best.
Beautiful hot water

we brought fire wood, just wanted more. There was a lot of wood on the ground so we helped clean it out.

Grand Teton, Jackson WY



After going to Yellowstone we stopped for two days in Jackson, WY to see and hike in the Grand Tetons.


We hiked to Hidden Falls. Olivia did great on the 7 mile round trip hike. We saw Moose, mother and baby, a marmot, and people. LOL


The Falls were breath taking. The view was awesome.



Olivia did a Junior Ranger program while we were in the Tetons. After our hike we finished all the tasks and she received her Junior Ranger Patch. After The hike we stopped at a park. Olivia still had a lot of energy left. We played in the hot sun for an hour before we headed to dinner. For dinner: Elk, Deer, buffalo (we all loved the rich meat)
