Keeler Family Reunion - Part 1

After hanging out with my parents in Utah for a few days we headed to Ashton, Idaho for the Keeler family reunion.  We rented a cabin for a few days there.  The cabin was really cool and right by Henry's Fork river.  We could walk down the hill to the river.  It was really pretty.

The first night we were there my dad invited my Aunt Nancy (my dad's sister) who lives nearby.  Her three kids also came.  This is my cousin, Andrea, who is my age and my aunt Nancy.  Andrea and I and two other girl cousins who were our age always had so much fun at our family reunions.  She lives in Oregon now.

Here are Scott and Dana (my sister's husband) in the cabin.

We had tacos the first night in the cabin and visited.

The next day we headed to Grand Teton National Park.  It was about 90 minutes away.  
There are the Tetons.

It was super crowded at Jenny Lake where we wanted to have lunch.  It took some doing for us to all get parking spots.  And there were no lunch tables there.  But eventually we found a place to eat by the lake.  We sat on logs and rocks and the ground but it was OK.

Here is Matthew eating some of his lunch by the lake.

It was crowded in the parking lot but on the lake it was nice and peaceful.
Here are some pictures on the lake.



I tied some of the tubes to a tube I was in and we went on a little voyage.



We rented a canoe and took turns paddling around.
Canoes are much harder to steer than kayaks.

As we were heading to the car at Jenny Lake it started to rain...then pour...then hail.
So we got a little wet.  But it cleared up pretty quickly.

After the big rain we stopped at String Lake nearby
It's smaller and more shallow and supposed to be warmer but we didn't swim there.
Jenny Lake wasn't actually that cold





It would have been nice to have more time but we had a nice day.
More adventures to come.
