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!

And one more video just because it makes me laugh.
