Our great adventure took place in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming and was in connection with the Jespersen Family Reunion 2010. The first half of our adventure took place primarily in Rexburg with Mr. Frisby's family. Since we were heading to Island Park, Idaho for my family reunion, we decided to go to Idaho a few days early to visit with Mr. Frisby's family. We arrived in Rexburg on Saturday night after a long, but uneventful, drive. Our Sunday adventures included going to church, eating dinner, and playing guitar hero with Mr. Frisby's brother and his wife. No pics of those adventures. Our Monday adventures included going to BYU-I to say hello to some of Mr. Frisby's old teachers and then spontaneously attending a class where Mr. Frisby was asked to speak last minute to some students. We also got my wedding ring cleaned and refinished and then, that night, Mr. Frisby's dad took us flying in his airplane. Lots of pics of that last adventure.
We flew all around Rexburg, checking out the buttes, the river, the town, the sand dunes, and the remnants of the old Teton Dam.
On Tuesday, we decided to head out for an excursion to Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. My parents and sister were also in Rexburg staying with my uncle. So we all decided to go together. We first went to GTNP and headed to Jenny Lake so we could see Hidden Falls. At Jenny Lake, we ran into my brother and his family who had also decided to see GTNP before going to the reunion. It was a lovely pre-reunion reunion. After chatting with them for a little bit, we got on a boat to take us across Jenny Lake. When the boat dropped us off on the other side, it was a short half mile hike to Hidden Falls.
While hiking up to Hidden Falls we ran into my sister and her family who had also decided to check out GTNP before heading to the reunion. After chatting with them briefly and making plans to meet up later in Jackson, we continued up the trail.
Hidden Falls was spectacular and definitely worth the hike. Since it wasn't a very long hike, we decided to continue on another half mile to Inspiration Point.
After returning to Jenny Lake, we decided to head to Jackson. On our way out of the park, we stopped for some photos of the Tetons. Then we continued on to check out Jackson.
Our Tuesday excursion was very fun. And Wednesday we went to the temple in the morning and then got ready to head to Island Park for the family reunion. Stay tuned for part 2 as the real adventures are about to begin.
