We drove up to Swan Valley Thursday afternoon/evening. On Friday we loaded the boat up and took off for Jackson Lake. It is about a 2 hour drive from Swan Valley. It was a little chilly Friday morning but it did warm up a bit. The lake was a bit rough but not too bad. We got on the lake about 1:00 and Shawn's friends from Wisconsin, The Recitti's, met us at the lake at 1:30. Andy plays the bass for the Milwaukee orchestra and then in the summers he plays for about 3 weeks with the Teton Symphony. His wife Rachel and 2 sons Miles (10) and Nelson (8) had a blast on the boat. We had to drop them off at the boat ramp at 5 so Andy could get ready for his show that night. We got off the lake then too. We checked into our hotel and then went to dinner at Jackson Lake Lodge. Grammy was with us and it was fun celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary all together. Plus Grammy turns 75 this week so we were celebrating that too. We saw 2 elk standing on the side of the road driving home from dinner.
Friday was me and Shawn's 11th wedding anniversary. It was fun spending the day with the people I love most!
On Saturday morning we got up and drove over to Dornan for a typical cowboy breakfast. I can't even explain how amazing the Tetons are when you are so close to them. We ate pancakes outside in the beautiful scenery. We went back to the lake and it was warmer and the lake was glass. We had fun exploring the lake more and wake boarding, surfing, Barefooting (shawn) and dancing!!! We got off the lake at about 3 to start to head back home. We stopped in Victor for hamburger and huckleberry shakes for dinner before getting to the cabin.
Lexi on the drive back to the cabin, wiped out!!!
On Sunday, we normally go to church in Swan Valley but Grammy and I hiked to the 1st lake at Palisades. Mom really wanted to do that as a gift to herself for her 75th birthday! She did great. Now her new goal is to do it when she is 80! She is really amazing to me!!! We had such a fun weekend!
