Memorial Day Weekend float down the Snake River

Memorial Day Weekend float down the Snake River from Conant to Byington got us some quality time on the river, an up-close-and-nearly-personal intro to a big rattlesnake (we ended up deciding NOT to camp there), some good victuals, a good night's sleep with the gurgling river just feet from our tent, and a little paddleboard time for Lucia and Daddy, while Clara and Mommy rowed. Check out some snippets:

Try Full Screen F11 - grainy, but big - and you may want to toggle the volume a bit on the quiet parts. There are some gems just under the audible threshold.

Lucia skiing Cottonwood Creek under blue skies

 Skiing up along Cottonwood Creek, we stopped on a bridge, and saw some tempting trailbreaking. Great Uncle Jim, cousin Sam, Clara, Dad and I followed the creek, laying down some fresh tracks in the powder...an awesome tour on a beautiful day! And I didn't even need poles! Even though I fell down a lot, and sat down a bunch too, I kept on cruising till the end.

Singing in the Mountains

Great camping at Green River Lakes Campground in the Wind River Range.




Campground is closed for the season. No Camp Host. But the bathrooms are open. The fee sign is plastered over. Free camping!
The way it should be!





Oh yeah,...did I mention that I love to sing?...like all the time?

Silly Daddy left the camera set on 'Magic,' which is why everything has that shimmer to it.

Later, Granite Hot Springs made my day. And the Falls are awesome!

Fun at the Park

Lucia and I had a great time at the boulder park at the base of the King!

I love climbing on the boulders!

Leigh Lake Canoe Camping

 

Those all natural oils were no match for the opportunistic bloodsucking mosquitoes who caught me with my pants down. Thank goodness for mom's bite soothing cream!

Memorial Day Weekend Yurt Trip

And came down Sunday in the snow!

 

Worm Rescue!

Daddy took us for a hike up the Putt Putt trail east of Jackson.
We found live and dead worms in the trail and did our best to save the ones that wiggled!

Rainbow Penguino!

Yard Art for February 13, 2012




Clara and Daddy carved a penguin!...from the block of ice we made from layers of colored water.
Lucia gives our new addition a smile and a kiss.

Bouncing on the couch has never been better!
Bouncing off the couch on the other hand...
Glad the coffee table is okay.

Thanks everybody for a really fun time!
