The whole family just got back from a well deserved vacation to Jackson, Wyoming for a wedding! We decided to stay a week and soak in the sights of Jackson, Yellowstone National Park, and The Grand Teton National Park! We had so much fun with all the the extended family in a gorgeous house that my parents rented. After long days of sight seeing and wedding events we relaxed in the hot tub on the back patio! Although the absence of my dad was obvious, we made many memories that we will cherish forever. Here are some photos (Okay, LOTS of photos) from our Wyoming adventure!

The double stroller saw good use this trip! Tessa enjoyed the average temperature of 70*!The first day we went to the historic Jackson Square, and rode up the air tram to the top of the Teton Mountains.

Eloise enjoyed picking the flowers in the backyard!

The next Day we made the long drive out to Yellowstone National park to see Old Faithful, and the Geyser Basin. We also caught a glimpse of some cool wildlife!

We called it a deer, but it may be something else...

A rare sighting of a GRIZZLY BEAR! Don't worry... We weren't this close... I zoomed in.

A trip to Jenny Lake in The Grand Teton National Park provided hiking and some beautiful photo ops.
On the way out we saw a mangy moose in need of some dinner.

Finally, it was wedding time! My cousin, Melanie, married Tim Grayson at the Jackson Golf and Tennis Club. It was a beautiful location overlooking the Tetons! It was such a fun evening and I was honored to be a bridesmaid by her side. I was apparently having so much fun that I forgot to take pictures. Thankfully there was a professional photographer, so we can get those later!

On our last full day in Jackson we went back to Teton National Park for a picnic lunch overlooking Coulter Bay and an easy hike along the lakeside trail.
