Happy Anniversary to Us

We made a big splash for our second anniversary…. in a raft on a whitewater trip on the Snake River. It was awesome! I marked one more thing off of my bucket list, because a whitewater trip was something that I have always wanted to do. It was really exciting but awfully cold. The wind was blowing up the canyon and we were paddling in to the wind. Every rush of water was chilling. We have a great picture of us going over the Big Kuhuna, but it’s a copywrited picture so I’m not going to post it. This picture was taken by our bus driver just as we were pushing off.

We went to Yellowstone and Jackson for our honeymoon and had such a great time that we decided to try and go up to Jackson every year to celebrate our anniversary. We started at the Idaho Falls Temple and then went to visit Adam, Melissa and the kids. We hadn’t seen their finished new house. It’s beautiful. They did a great job building, as well as decorating. We spent the night with them and then drove to Jackson on Sunday.

We checked into our tent spot at the Snake River KOA and then drove to Granite Hot Springs. It’s a beautiful place and we spent a couple of hours enjoying the mountain scenery from the pool and relaxing in the warm mineral water.

On Monday we took a wagon train up into the mountains where we had a dutch oven dinner and fun western entertainment.

Sheriff Mel was drafted to be on the program. It was hilarious. He had to wear a red little boy cowboy hat with string ties. The hat, of course, had a star on the front. He was wearing a red stripped tee-shirt, so he looked like he was seven all over again.

We were also attacked by wild Shoshone Indians, but luckily we lived to blog about it.

Tuesday was our actual anniversary and our white water trip. It was a great way to end our little get away. It was a wonderful trip.

We really love Jackson and the Teton's.
