Warning Post over load! Prepare for an Oober amout of pictures!
Last weekend we went to Jackson Hole, WY! It's been a tradition in the Wells family to go every year. They've been doing this for the last 27 years! Brian has only missed 3 years. One, while he was on his mission and 2 during the summers I was pregnant and couldn't travel that far. (Sorry moose, thanks for taking one for the team!) Brian and I went up a day early, with out our kids! BOOYA! So we could do some hiking. We also counted this as our "graduation trip" too. So we got a full 24 hours to each other, priceless! Not to mention a 6 hour car ride with out our kiddos in the back seat! :) The hike we did was called "Cascade Canyon," it was so pretty, lush and green. And it was over cast so it didn't get too hot.
We first had to hike around Jenny Lake
Then to Hidden Falls
Past Inspiration Point, where we got engaged. But I didn't get any pictures. Why you might ask? Well as we were turning the corner of the trail to get to IP, we came upon a couple well.....doing IT! Ya so we quickly turned our heads to admire some trees and waited for them to finish. But after that we were able to make it to Cascade Canyon.Sadly it ruined the place where we got engaged.
We saw 2 dear on the trail, both were very close to us. This reminded me of the opening scene in Twilight, ya I know I'm a dork! :)
A beautiful picture of the Tetons
A moose sighting! Ok he just moose to me :)
We made it to the top. The whole hike was 13 miles, booya!
But we really did have a true moose sighting!
The next day Brian decided 13 miles wasn't enough so he ran a 10K! His brother Tyler also ran. Brian finished in 50 min!
Tired kiddos!
And another moose sighting! Man they're every where!
Happy 4th of July!
At the Bar-J. Again, the Wells have been going to this for 27 years. They serve a chuck wagon meal that is sooooo good, and then have a western type band for entertainment after dinner.
Melody is getting closer to walking, but this is her new technique. Just grab mom's pants to keep her steady.
Giddy up!
Gavin didn't quite want to giddy up.
The Wells men, plus an Alama.
Brian, a member of the Bar-J trying to be a crooner. AKA dashing, didn't quite work.
A great show!
Hi I'm hear to audition for the play Oliver Twist, or maybe Orphan Annie!
Elise had a butterfly land on her back and it stayed for a long time. She was fine until she saw it in the mirror and then she didn't like it on her.
Enjoying some food
Great family time.
All the grand kids. Elise, Melody, and Gavin
This is by far the best family picture we've ever had! Everyone is looking, smiling, and not blinking all at the same time! It's a miracle!
Even Sugar came and enjoyed the great outdoors.
Throwing rocks in the river, Elise's favorite.
Sure looks like Jason and Jen were enjoying throwing rocks in the river. :)
Our last day we hiked hidden falls as a family.
Such a cute couple!Jenny+Fez
We had such a great time, we were so tired by the end of the trip but it was sooooo worth it. This is the first time in 5+ years we've been all together in Jackson. Now I just need to quit having kids in the summer so we can go up every year! :)

Sounds like it was pretty awkward up by your engagement spot... but it got better from there! It's crazy to so Melody standing up on her own, she's growing up so fast!! So cool you got to go up on your own early. I've never been up there but whenever I see your pictures from Jackson I want to! See you NEXT WEEK!!
Forgot to congradulate Brian on his 10k, 50 min is great!! I hope I can do that next week, wish I had him to pace off of.
How fun! I love the Tetons and the whole Jackson area. And the Bar-J is so much fun! (We actually went there on our honeymoon. They asked us what the heck we were doing out in public. Ha ha!)
Looks like you guys had lots of fun! I love that picture of you and Brian at the start of your post. Gorgeous scenery! :)
