First, I have to say, that you shouldn't have a directionally disabled blonde woman, and a PREGNANT directionally disabled blonde woman (my friend Aubrey) trying to get somewhere! My mapquest directions took me the way I DIDN'T want to go, so we got a big confused, and a bit lost, and ended up going TWO HOURS in the wrong direction before we figured it out (we were having a great conversation and hadn't realized how much time had passed and that we should have gotten there already). So we ended up taking a FOUR HOUR detour, and almost ran out of gas (I swear we made it to the gas station on fumes and a prayer!). And this is what the babies did: Posted Image That's Erin on the right and Myla on the left. When they weren't sleeping they were stealing each other's toys and having a grand old time...for the most part. So we FINALLY we made it to Jenny Lake...and it was FROZEN OVER. Yep. 3 feet of snow. I didn't make it down to the lakeside because the stairs down looked treacherous and with two babies we didn't want to risk it. Not only that but the wind coming over the snow-capped mountains and frozen lake was BITTER cold, and we soon had two shivering babies, so we didn't stay long. But it was beautiful and I was so glad to be there even if for only moments. And we had a great time getting lost! lol!!! It was actually a really great day. So here's some pictures. The lake Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image The stairs I didn't want to go down Posted Image Snow by the car Posted Image Flowers. A yellow one for me, Husband, and Erin each, one yellow one for Grandparents and other relatives, one yellow one for Aubrey and Myla, and the purple ones for my online friends (Aubrey has one of me with the flowers she'll be sending me) Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image A lone one that got left in the bag I had them in that I didn't see until I got back to the car Posted Image So, that's it!! Gorgeous, fun day! I think Cora loved laughing at us. ((eta: for those of you who don't know, Jenny Lake is where we spread Cora's ashes)) |
