We planned the this trip to coincide with a family shindig in Pinedale, WY but when that was cancelled we decided to keep our reservations and enjoy more time in the parks. This was Tristan's FIRST TIME!! It was fun to watch him as we explored. We also decided to invite my sister Kerry and her son Isaiah. It was also Isaiah's first time. Kerry can't remember ever coming up with the family which may be true since we could have stopped coming yearly before she was born. My brother Aaron was also up for the weekend with Meredith. What great timing!
This was a whirlwind trip and we did not have a lot of time to spend in any one place. We were able to hit most of the highlights of both parks in three days but I could have spent all that time at Grand Teton and another three in Yellowstone.
The weather this June has been a little crazy! We had a mix of it all...sun, rain, snow, warm, cold & very windy.
