 It started raining just before the geyser went off. Anderson and I were the only ones with jackets, Nathan got to use the blanket in grandpa & grandmas car. Regardless of the temperature drop and rain, Old Faithful was "spectacular" according to Nathan, even though it was about ten minutes late.
 We had a picture of Russ, Bonnie, Terry, Kari, Llew, Braedon and I in front of this bus from about 12 years ago, so we thought we would take another one.
Nathans favorite part of the day "the hot pots boiling"
I am glad that Nathan was able to go and enjoy seeing some of the sights that I grew up visiting (often twice a year at conference time).

4 wheeling in Island Park

 On Monday we spent the day 4-wheeling around Bill's Island. It was Nathan (and AJ's) first time riding a 4-wheeler. They both liked it.

Horses and hiking

 On Sunday (June 3) we got to go see uncle Scott's horses and go for a ride. Before the ride, we fed the horses some grass. Turns out, Nathan and I are sissy's. We both held the grass up for the horse to eat, and dropped it just short of the horse eating it.
 AJ was amazed at the size of the horses.

 After our horse riding adventure, we had lunch at NYC Sub Shop (YUMMY) and then drove up to Grand Teton National Park and went hiking at Jenny Lake.
Beautiful
 Anderson riding in style.
 You can't really see it very well, but Nathan in riding in style too. After falling three (or more) times he only wanted to be carried. Aunt Bonnie asked if he wanted a piggy back ride, he said "no, I want a backpack ride". I ended up carrying him for most of the 2+ mile hike.


Up by Hidden Falls with my nephews.
Nathans favorite part of the day, "the waterfall".
We had a great time in Jackson...now off to Island Park.
