Jackson Hole- The Grand Teton Trip

So last Christmas Ragen's parents gave all the boys a Grand Teton Trip for the following August, yes they are actually going to climb the Tetons.  So we took a few days off and headed to Jackson Hole.  Ragen, his brothers and his Dad had to be there that Tuesday night August 7th, so they headed out and I had to stay and work until Thursday. All the rest of the family went up too, so when we got there Thursday, some of them had already gone back to work so we missed some of the family.  Kerri and her kids were still there and Verla, so we were able to spend some time with them while the boys had their training.  They started training that Wednesday and Thursday and did their climb that Friday and Saturday August 10th and 11th.  

We were able to a lot of fun things while the boys were away.  Before the boys and I had gotten there, the rest of the family went to the Bar J Wranglers and said that it was really good. We also went miniature golfing (wanted to do the big mountain slides but did get back to do them- darn-it!),  did some shopping, swimming and we took a boat ride across Jenny Lake so we could hike on the other side.  We wanted to see where the boys did some of their training and where they started their climb.  So I strapped the baby in and we made our trek. Then we made sure we went back to meet the guys when they got back from their hike.  They all had a good time, a little sore but enjoyed theirselves, unfortunately Ragen's brother Ryn got really sick and had to come back sooner than the rest and Ragen's Dad was able to make it to the top but on their way back he got really sick as well. They are all doing well now though.  Ragen is glad he accomplished this venture and he had a good time and we are proud of him for accomplishing it. Ragen was able to take out small camera with him so he got some good pictures of them hiking and at the top of the Tetons. We also had a really good time, getting away from work and enjoying ourselves for a few days.

Thanks Mark and Verla for this wonderful time!
