For our Wedding Anniversary this year Benson & I decided to buy lightweight camping gear & go on a back country pack trip. We got a permit for Cascade & Paintbrush Canyons in Jackson, left our kiddies with my sister and had three days to ourselves. It was so much fun, except for the blisters, and the bear canister that we had to carry (regulation). The canister weighed 7 lbs. when empty and quite a bit more when full. Luckily we didn't see any bears, but we did see quite a few moose. We saw two bull moose on the way in and when we woke up the first morning there 
was a cow, 
and a bull moose 20 yards from our tent door just laying down (we think they spent the night with us). The hike was so beautiful, I've never seen so many incredible views! We hiked in the canyon just north of the Grand Teton.

Becky, we're finally back into blogging and not doing our website anymore. I check other blogs frequently. I'd love to get together again, especially before it gets too busy with the holidays.
