It's hard to describe the emotions of a day celebrating the life of my amazing Grandpa. These last moments of our part in his burial were so special. Grandpa, we will miss you so.

Hiking in Grand Teton National Park was simply spectacular.
I'm pretty proud to be part of a family in which all 18 of us, ages 4 months to nearly 60 years, were on the 5+ mile hike, even if attitudes weren't as pretty as the scenery at times. :)

Arriving at our spot near Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the week with the Sportels.
Beautiful views. Cousins playing. This will do for the week. :)

Before leaving on our trip out west, we said hi and good-bye to Grandpa another time, knowing it would likely be the last. And it was. So thankful my mom captured this moment.
