#29-Saturday morning

Old Faithful blew and now it’s time to head to the mountains--Teton Mountains that is.

Waiting for my turn for shower and keeping my fingers crossed there will still be enough water, but then we pack up and head south this morning.

The weather is once again beautiful so other than Stacy having anxiety attacks—not sure why but I guess we all are a little mental—the morning promises to be a nice one. Always a bit nervous until we get a home for the evening but it sounds like we should be ok—the Tetons are less busy than Yellowstone--or at least that is what we have been hearing.

We’ve also heard both successes and failures attached to seeing moose but since we are very serious animal watchers I assume we will be able to find a few. There also appears to be some good canoeing lakes so we will see how motivated we are to challenge our skills. Remember it is J&S’s life and a canoe, a cold lake, and wilderness has a lot of potential…how much do we tempt fate at this point in time?

Yesterday Stacy & I took the boys on a walk along the lake. I cheated and let Buster off the leash and they had a hey day. But then they both decided to go out on a dead log reaching into the lake. And when one dog has a leash on, and two dogs try to turn around on a narrow branch—it turns into a hilarious situation—and both dogs fall into the lake! But they learned to swim and I’m sure the log will become narrower and the lake become deeper before they share it with all their friends at home. And we just got to watch—and laugh…we are such bad mommies…

Still don’t know what we are going to do next. Camping is only costing us less than $10 a night lately so we aren’t in any hurry to leave the national park system. Guess we will continue to take one day at a time and see what presents itself. The weather has been amazingly good so I guess God is helping us out, so I’ll just try to keep you all informed…
Life has been good--
