Hiking Tablerock Mountain

Last Wednesday, my coworker convinced David and I to hike Tablerock mountain. David and I have never been on a hike together before so we decided to do it. It sounded like a lot of fun. Little did we know...

We got met up with my coworker and his wife in the Teton Canyon and started up the trail. This is what we saw at the beginning of the trail:


And it was.

The hike:
4,000 ft (elevation change)
8 miles round trip
6 hours

The first few miles were straight up the hill. It was hard but we made good time. There were some beautiful views at the top. This was one halfway up the mountain when we made it to a little meadow. It was beautiful.


Here's a view from the top. Gorgeous, huh?


Here we all are at the top. You can see Grand Teton in the back. We were at 11,000 ft elevation. It was a bit scary.


It ended up being a fun hike and we're glad we went—even though I'm barely starting to feel my legs again. And we're already planning our next hike!

4th of July

I know this is way late but our 4th of July weekend was so fun that I just had to post about it. We went camping with David's family and invited our friends, Kylee and Aaron, to come along. It was a lot of fun. We went fishing.


David caught a lot of fish—not as much as his mom, she caught so many—but he caught quite a few.


Here's me with my fish. Isn't he so cute?


I took the following picture. David thought it was really cool. If only that sign wasn't in the way it could be a great fishing picture.


We took a lot of night pictures and this was one of the coolest ones we did. It's of Aaron punching himself. Cool huh? Cameras are totally cool!


We also went to the shooting range and shot rifles. I'm horrible at it but David was really good.




I'm still not sure why I couldn't hit the clay-pigeons. Maybe it would help if I opened my eyes...


The coolest part was when David and I took a walk one morning and on our way back to the camp we saw 3 moose (or moosen). It was soooooo cool! The only problems were that they were right on our path so we couldn't get back to our camp and we didn't have our camera. So we watched and waited for them to walk on before we booked it back to camp, grabbed our camera, and ran back to see if the moose were still there. Luckily, two of the three were still there and we got some cool shots. Here's proof:


And that was our weekend. It was great to spend time with friends and family and to just enjoy the beautiful nature. It was a lot of fun.
