This year we decided to do something unusual for the Smith's, and go camping for our summer vacation. If you know anything about Sam or I, you know we don't like to "rough it" too much, but for memories sake we decided it was time. Jackson, WY was our destination, and it turned out to be great. We all had a fabulous time, and the kids can now look back on their childhood and remember a time they went camping as a family.
The antler picture. Can't visit Jackson without one.
The Alpine Slide
Sam, Carter, and Elle got up super early one morning to go see the wildlife in the park. They tell us it was beautiful.
One of the highlights of the trip for the kids was the horseback riding.
I have to include a picture of Nate, because he was a trooper. Just 8 days prior to going he got his tonsil taken out. He was pretty miserable, but tried really hard to put a smile on and enjoy the great outdoors.
Jenny Lake
Jackson Lake and an evening swim.
We opted for the "scenic float" down the raging Snake River. I guess next time, we'll have to be more adventurous, and do the white water rafting, because my kids said it was BORING!
Good Times!!!
