NJ visitors/ Tetons

The end of July was a busy one. We had a great time with all of our guests from NJ. Jimmy, Amy, and Tubbs were here for vacation. Jill flew out from NY to begin a month long road trip with Becky. We had a good time going on bike rides, to the reservoir, drinking beer, and dressing Tubbs up. BBQing was a nightly event thanks to Tubbs the grill master.

Mid week Tubbs went to Vegas with BTK...we have suspicions that they may have visited the Little White Chapel to exchange some wedding vows. That's still under investigation.
Meanwhile, Jimmy, Amy, Dan, and I (aka Team Alpaca) made our way up to the Tetons/Jackson Hole, Wyoming for some outdoor fun.

The Tetons might just be the most spectacular mountain range I've ever seen. We backpacked in for a night in the wilderness and out the next day for a total of 20 miles. Little did the guys tell us girls that the first days hike was going to be a tough one. Six and a half hours later and 4000 ft. of elevation gain we finally made it to our camp site. It was definitely worth the struggle!

Amy and I were very Bear Aware and made sure the guys were also. Dan was the mule with the largest pack carrying all the food, the tent and his own stuff. We finally made it out and still had enough energy for a group picture.
