Our trip to Jenny Lake in July was amazing! We were so lucky so get a campsite at the late hour of 9:00am. Most days we were there it filled up by 8:30. It is a beautiful tent-only campground at the base of Jenny Lake. I can't begin to describe how beautiful it is. It feels so good to breathe fresh mountain air all day and night. The trees, mountains, lake, birds, and other wildlife, all make it feel like paradise.
Greg, Jon, Lizzy, and Kristin came with us. They were so much fun and a lot of help with Hannah who kept running into the road and lying down every time something went wrong. She also had a hard time going to sleep in the tent. One night I woke up to her jumping on me and laughing. After a while I finally just bear hugged her until she fell asleep. By the end of the trip she was used to it, but then it was time to go. She wasn't all hard, she loved all the helmets and spent half her time awake putting them on and off. She also learned some sweet dance moves while Jon provided the acoustics.
Owen had fun riding his bike around the campground. He spent half his time trying to convince one of us to go on a ride with him. The rest of the time he asked when we could go swimming.
We spent the first few days just hanging around camp and swimming in the lake. It was nice and relaxing and so fun to spend time with four of my siblings, wonderful husband, and two fun kids. The last day we hiked from our campsite around the lake. Owen was amazing and hiked almost 5 miles. It ended up being longer than we thought so we took the ferry back over to cut off a few miles. Needless to say I can't wait to go back!

Trying to capture Hannah dancing.
And one more video just because it makes me laugh.

We were at Jenny Lake last summer and WE LOVED IT TOO!! We didn't get to camp there, but we hiked and then did the ferry thing too! Seeing all your pics of this trip and your cabin trip( big springs, floating the river, west yellowstone etc.) made me miss it up there so much! I'm glad you are having so much fun and I loved all your pics- you look so cute!
Thanks so much Caroline and Jeff for letting me come with you! I had so much fun going there and swimming in the freezing cold lake. It was also fun to just get away and be in the mountains.
Your pictures are so beautiful. I can't wait until we can go there with you. Was Hannah seeing how she'd look as a future mud-wrestler? She has potential.
Good job, Owen on a 5 mile hike. You must have the Wallin hiking genes!
Mini Caroline right there! Awesome pics too. Looks like so much fun.
