Sorry that it has been twenty one days since my last blog entry. The main reason is even though I like my new job washing tour buses a lot, I'm working way-more hours and I'm just plain tired in the evenings to post anything. The past two weeks I averaged 9.5 hour days. Plus the wifi here is like, fast basic internet, and it takes forever to upload pictures.

Okay, enough excuses. This past weekend we went to Jackson. The first day we went biking on the trail I'd done several weeks back by myself. LaRayne loved the trail being real close to the Tetons. As we rode through Moose Village we actually saw a bull m-o-o-s-e while crossing the bridge. The next day we were going to kayak on Jenny Lake but we got rained out. So, instead we went to Teton Village and rode the tram up the mountain. We were actually in-and-out of the clouds at the top.

Today, 7/20/13 we did an all-day tour Yellowstone Park Loop in our van and drove to Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower, the Petrified Tree, then drove through Canyon, on down to Yellowstone Lake and Lewis Lake to kayak. The water was too rough at both lakes so our kayaking was a bust. But there is always next weekend! Our tentative plans for next weekend are to car-camp at Colter Bay Marina/Campground and kayak on Jackson Lake both days.

Here are some updated pictures. Sorry they are not in very good order. I had trouble with my cursor cooperating.

Taken from inside our minivan on July 6th. Yes, that's snow on the side of the road.
