Anna, Addi and I just got back from a week in the Teton's. Addison was such a trooper, the trip took us 1900 miles and we spend 36 hours in the car over the 6 days we were gone but it was all worth it. Here are but a few of the pictures of the great memories of her second road trip/camping trip, we forgot to take any pictures during the first one.
 |
| Day 1 - Camping at Sugarite Canyon State Park |
Day 1 was driving from Albuquerque to Raton in one of the most severe and crazy rain storms I've ever experienced. I was really glad we had rented a big vehicle for the trip.
 |
| Dinner night 1 |
Right before dinner, I went for a run and not a quarter mile from the campground scared up a black bear that was rummaging in a culvert next to the road, he didn't hear me, I didn't hear him and thank the Lord, he took off when I passed him, amazing, he was no further than 10 feet away!

| Nap Time |
 |
| While Daddy was cooking Addi went for a walk |
 |
| Day 2 - I am so happy when I wake up. |
Addi slept fantastic, we set up two cots and her pack-n-play between us in the REI Hobitat tent. She woke up every morning with a big smile and ready for whatever might come. Day 2 we left Sugarite Canyon and drove to Cheyenne. Along the way we stopped and visited our friends Kneil and Jodi, and their two kiddos Abigail and Bethany.
 |
| This was my command and control center for the trip. |
 |
| After a long trip north we stopped in Cheyenne and... |
I rediscovered KOA's on this trip. :-) They do make it a bit easier to camp with a small one.
 |
| Daddy and I got beat playing Mom putt putt. She's really good. |
The KOA in Cheyenne was really nice. It was a bit loud because of the proximity to the interstate but it had Putt-Putt and a pool and ended up being a really fun place to stay.
 |
| Day 3 - another day of travel but tonight we'll be in the Teton's. |
 |
| Stopped for coffee at a used book store along the way |
If I can find a way to purchase Anna a used bookstore/coffee house in some sleepy town during our lifetime for her to make her own, I will have done a good thing. It is a dream for her. We love stopping in them in little towns when we travel.
 |
| Beauty along the way. |
 |
| Stopped for gas in this rocking town...traffic was rough... |
 |
| Finally we are here. |
 |
| Yeah! |
 |
| Daddy made smore's, these look like something I will try later on |
 |
| Morning! |
 |
| :-) My two beautiful ladies. |

| Hidden Falls |
 |
| I love hiking |
 |
| Love these girls. |
 |
| Daddy played with my feet |
 |
| At long last we are done, back at the trailhead |
 |
| Hiking wore me out. |
 |
| I got cold so daddy and I snuggled |
 |
| Pics from a run to Hermitage Point |
 |
| Same run, pics at Heron Lake |
 |
| Ahhhhh, tickle time! |
 |
| Final night camping in Ouray |
The trip was wonderful. We spent a lot of time in the car but we also spent a lot of time taking breaks and going on walks and exploring new places. Made ton's of new memories! Jesus did a nice job of creating such beautiful places for us to explore and what a blessing to be able to go and explore the great outdoors for a week.
Addi is growing so quickly. She is 6 1/2 months old now, sitting up on her own and teething like a banshee. She starts daycare this week as Anna is going back to school and so am I.
