Got back this past week from a weeklong camping trip at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Beautiful...'cept for the mosquitos, which were ridiculously plentiful. RiDONCulously plentiful. Stupid mosquitos. I'm pretty sure Layla gave up a few pints of blood. She's particularly delicious, apparently.
Lots of family time. The kids loved the tent.
At Jackson Hole. Please check out Carson & Addie's "scared" faces in the ensuing bear photos. Priceless.
The whole gang overlooking Phelps' Lake.
Memories of Addie:
- "I'm too tiiiiiiired" whining, which commenced about 2 steps into every hike. Sometimes we made her whine it out. Sometimes we caved. But she'd get down if we started singing "Down by the Bay" so she could add in her rhymes. Guess how many cumulative hours we spent singing that little nugget...
- Lover of glowsticks and flashlights. Naturally. Loved to ride her bike. Loved the water. Hated the mosquitos and all things creepy-crawly.
- Loved floating on Jackson Lake (Colter Bay) with her dad. Missed her naps, but she got her nods in when and how she could.
- Loved strawberry milk boxes. Queen of the swimsuit wedgie. Loved her tie-dye shirt. Bigtime. Reverted in her potty training success...so hard to get to the john on time whilst camping, but she mastered pee-in-the-woods like a boy. Atta girl.
- Had lots of cousin time. Is a camper at heart. I'm surprised the bears weren't attracted to the food left on her face every night. Looked like a motherless waif.
