The Grand Tetons!

Hey Everybody!

We have made it to the Grand Tetons! We were warmly (or not so much) welcomed to the Tetons by 30 degree snowy weather yesterday. We found our Campsite at Jenny Lake and went to go look at the mountains and lake. To our disappointment, the weather was inhibiting our ability to see the glorious Tetons and all of their majestic peaks. To our surprise, on our excursion to see the mountains, we were graced by the presence of a full grown male Moose! He was absolutely beautiful. Unimpressed with our presence, he continued to quietly snack on some vegetation while we stared in amazement. This encounter certainly brightened our moods and gave us hope for the Tetons. Later that evening, we enjoyed: grocery shopping in Jackson WY, Cronksause (Hot Italian Sausage) Stew, and a blazing campfire to warm us from the cold night. We awoke next morning, (today) and were pleasantly surprised to find the weather had improved. High 40's and clear skies allowed us to see the glorious Tetons and enjoy our hike. We have enjoyed our time here and are looking forward to Yellowstone. We have only a 3hr drive to Yellowstone tomorrow and we hope we are able to (finally) see a bear!

Love You All! (Wish you were here Trent :) )
