We started with a stop in Pocatello for a visit with Grandpa and Grandma Cook. While we were there Evelyn played piano with Grandpa Darryl and met her first horse.
She was quite excited about it until the horses came running up, then it was a little overwhelming. Lucky for you, we caught it on camera.
Eventually she calmed down enough to "pet" and even sit on Red Raider. Who I must say was a great sport. He didn't even flinch at Evelyn who screamed at him, hit him, and pulled his mane.
After a night at the Cooks we headed north to Driggs where we met Jesse's sisters and their families at the cabin. On Labor Day we went on a short hike on the Alaska Basin Trail. Darryl brought the horses and lots of the grandkids and even Kandace rode for a short while.
Since everyone had school or work the next day, Jesse and I stayed at the cabin until Thursday by ourselves. We hiked to the top of Targhee on Wednesday and enjoyed some amazing views of the Tetons. Evie got to go for a ride on her first of many chairlifts on the way down.
After our hike we drove to Jackson Hole and saw the Tetons from that side of the mountains. They were AMAZING!
What a great week! Evie had lots of new experiences, we saw family and had a break from life for a moment. The best part by far was spending time with my little family in this beautiful country, exploring and taking it all in!
