                                                              August 11th Table Rock
On my 8th trip up to Table Rock I was accompanied by Whitney, Cindy Duffin, Kathy Nichols, Sierra, Russell, Bryson, Jackson and Shawn.  Every year I hike it, I swear I'll never do it again but something pulls me back.  I kept telling myself that once I could I hike it with my grandchildren I would quit.  Kathy has hiked it with me 7 out of 8 times and every year she swears she won't go again but look who's in the picture.  We are eager and ready to hike at 8:00 a.m.

 Russell wishing this was the rock we were hiking to.

 That flat rock is where we are going. We as send 4100 feet from the trail head

 Jackson can hardly wait!!

 Flowers of all colors along the way.  It is a 12 mile round trip to the top.

Russell did better when we put him in the lead with Whitney.

 Shawn walked, and walked, and walked.

Sometimes you just have to stop and take a break.  That last climb is a killer.

Who knew that Bryson was afraid of heights?  He was hugging the rock.

We couldn't get Bryson to stand up for the picture.  We had to beg him to come out and turn around so we would have the Tetons in the background.

                                              Kathy and I have conquered yet again!!!!

                                  Whits famous pose.  The Tetons look even better with her expertise!

 Whitney graduated from Nursing school with her RN and so she carried her cap and gown to the top for a picture.  Yeah!!!!  Congrats to Whitney!

Russell was happy to be on top even if it was a bit cold.

                                  Shawn and the boys went back down the face and beat us by 30 minutes.
                                   They had a chance to soak their feet while they were waiting for us.

                                                       It was a great memorable day.

 2012 Cousin Camp
We went to Green Canyon for a week and the kids had 2 swim lessons each day.  Thanks to Mom & Dad James, we had a nice trailer to stay in.  I kept the Dahlstrom children with me and Rachelle came in their camp trailer with all her children.  Melanie came up and joined us half way through the week with Dexter and Delaney.  It was great fun!  I taught them the Peanut Butter song with my Ukelele.  Too bad I can't put a recording on this.....they sounded great.

Hiking!

 Our Jackson family reunion this year was great except for a few things......Luke and Casey could not come.  Brett's family has a cabin in Island Park so we were fortunate to be able to use it.  We all drove up on a Friday night and spent the night.....

 The kids had fun playing together....

 Shawn was trying to kill bats.....yes there were bats in the house when we got there....that is the other "thing" that was not so good......

 The man!

 That's me after I got up from my fall on the wake board....

 Look out Josiah!!!!  Sierra can't drive.

 Brett & Chelsey are in heaven....

 Cutler and Josi

 Whit & Griff forgot they weren't alone.

 Josiah......woops!!!

 Whit showing how it's done.

Now that's better Josiah!
After a day at the lake and on the boat the adults went in to West Yellowstone to the Playmill Theatre to see "The Drowsy Chaperone".  We left the kids with Sierra.....wow!  After the play we went back to the cabin and decided to drive home so we could get to church in the morning on time.  Mel and Josiah and Shawn and Rachelle took off and Chelsey and Brett and Whit and Griff rode with Dave and I.  It was a bit crowded but we squished.  About 30 minutes down the road Whit realized that she had left her dog Roxy back at the cabin.  We turned around and went back in hopes we would find her.  By the time we got back which was about 11:30 we were happy to see the dog but not anxious to get back in the car for the drive home so we stayed and got up early the next morning and drove home.  Great fun!!!!
