We slept in a little this morning. Then we headed to the Tetons. To get here we had to drive through part of
Yellowstone. So I got to see a little
bit of the park this morning. I said
goodbye to my happy place but was looking forward to seeing the Tetons. We are in a sort of cabin here. Not cabin enough for our liking, there are
tons of cabins all around us and they are in 4 units to each cabin.
We drove down into the park and the mountains were
beautiful. It was kind of hazy so my
pictures aren’t great but it was beautiful to me anyway. I never can seem to make my pictures took how
I see things. We found Colter Bay visitor
center and got Junior Ranger books. We
sat in on a talk by a Native American about beadwork…old and new. He had some beads that were over 200 years
old! His name was Clyde Hall, he is
Shoshone. As he was talking he mentioned
that he had family in Kentucky, they had been there since the 1930’s. David’s maternal grandmothers last name was
Hall, his paternal grandma was Blackfoot.
We bought a couple of things he brought from his trading post. He gave the boys a necklace.
We then went in search of food but everything was closed in
the area where we were. So instead we
found a picnic spot and ate from the cooler again. I have really enjoyed do that because of the
very cool places we have found to picnic.
Today it was by Jackson Lake with mountains behind it.
We got to the hotel and waited for the only restaurant close
to open for dinner. It was a bit pricey
but everyone seemed to enjoy what they got.
I got bison pot pie, David and Anthony got grilled tuna. Michael got a turkey bagel with quinoa
salad. Jacob got buttered pasta with a
fruit salad.
After dinner Jacob, Michael and I went for a little walk
around the cabin area. We found an amphitheatre
with an awesome view. We may try to get
up early and go watch the sun come up.
We will just have to see if we manage that.
