On Saturday, David made us a yummy breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon and then we eventually got ready to go. We headed over the Teton Pass into Teton National Park and Jenny Lake. I was driving while Carlos was trying to do homework.
We spent most of the drive trying to get the iPad to load this video about the Toyota Sienna so David could see it. It never worked well and we had to wait until we got back home for them to see it all. We like that van and I think the commercials are funny! Anyway….
Once at Jenny Lake, we took the boat across the lake to hike up to Hidden Falls.
We didn’t really know how far we would go because we didn’t have a carrier for Zach and his 30+ pounds feel even heavier than that! It ended up being a really pretty easy hike and really enjoyable. It helped that *everyone* took turns with Zach (I didn’t really carry him until the end of the return hike…) There were places that you had to be careful with the boys, but it wasn’t panicky the whole time like when we hiked up to Timpanogos Cave last fall.
Right where the falls are still had a lot of snow and it was a little tricky walking across it because there were so many people and it was pretty icy. We all did okay, but I did go down when we were leaving and slid a little bit. Don’t worry, I saved my camera!
The falls were really pretty and, because of all the snow and rain, were really powerful. 
We hung out for a while…
…then headed back down. At one point when we stopped, there was a group eating sandwiches. We hadn’t brought any because we were going to get pizza at a restaurant just outside of the park. Here, Jaiden is telling us that we should have brought sandwiches!
The boat was leaving when we got to the dock but we waited for the next one and had a snack and hung out for about fifteen minutes.
I didn’t ever get any good pictures of the Tetons because, first, I was driving whenever we had a good open view, and second, the gray day made it hard for me to get a good one, the clouds and the mountain tops just kind of blended together!
We went to Durnans for lunch and had pizza. Then, just about everyone fell asleep on the way home while I drove! David kept me company though!
We all just lazed around for the afternoon, taking naps, doing homework, and watching TV. The boys loved, loved, loved Milly and David got these cute pictures while I was helping Carlos with homework or taking a nap or something!
We went to church with them on Sunday and headed home that afternoon. This time, we took the more direct, faster route, but it was still pretty. I love the rolling, green hills and fields on the road from Driggs to Rexburg!
We had to take a couple of hurry-and-pull-over-by-the-side-of-the-road stops, but other than that, we only stopped once at a rest stop close to the Idaho-Utah border. I thought it was really pretty and there were lilacs everywhere that smelled so good! There was even hot water in the bathroom sink! There were pathways and bridges and benches and tables all over. It was really quite quaint! At least as quaint as a rest stop could be….
Well, that’s the end of our little trip! We made it home in just under 5 1/2 hours (even with the 20 minute stop) and with one tank of gas. We may have been practically coasting into our driveway, but we did it!
