| Waking up on a chilly morning in the Tetons |
Lesson learned ... 40* sleeping bag is not nearly sufficient enough in high altitudes. When I purchased equipment I didn't really expect to be into this nomadic camping thing quite so much. It had been years since I had been camping and I forgot how much I really dig camping and nature. It is exhilarating to wake up in nature, the crisp fresh air, the birds singing, the animals scurrying about.
I'm sure my sister is looking down thinking how crazy I am. She was not an outdoors, nature person. She was a four walls and a bed kind of gal. Yet I feel her smiling. She is always around me.
As we ate breakfast a squirrel jumped up on the table to say "good morning." Bean's eyes lit up with delight. I love watching her experience something new and exciting. The world is this great big place that she is exploring and learning about every moment. So much fun to watch. Like being a child again. My girl had that look of young excitement seeing the squirrel jump up and investigate. Great memories.

| Looking for rocks to toss. |
We drove through the Tetons. Jamie skipped rocks in Jackson dam, and Bean attempted too by picking up big rocks and throwing them into the dam. Not quite getting mom's technique down. Jamie is good at skipping rocks. Up to Signal Mountain had a nice lunch then up to the overlook, beautiful view. I took a picture of Bean pointing to the mountains. The expression on her face was fun. Anything to amused Mum-mum. Driving down from Signal Mountain was beautiful. My sense felt heightened by the air and the trees and the beauty of the place was just breathtaking.
After driving through the park and checking out the visitors center, again too many people, we drove to Jackson looking for blankets and camping supplies. On the way back we had a DQ. Mmmm. My new addiction.
Back at the camp we unwound and built a fire. Beautiful day.
