Lake Time



We have been all over the map this summer, so, this past weekend we committed to staying in the valley. I called up to the permit desk at GTNP on Friday and was able to SCORE a just turned in permit for Saturday night on Jackson Lake that someone wasn't going to use. Their huge loss, our massive gain....!

Rain droplets on our tent window.


Parking spots for our digs.



Yep, just as it looks. Nate, hanging out in the kids play pen.


The weather broke just enough for us to squeeze in a pre-dinner ski and wakeboard.

Jason, Finn, and Ben.


Jess, up first try on the single ski.

All of the camping sites on Jackson Lake are boat access only. Lucky for us, we have a collection of buds that have boats.

The backdrop looks fake doesn't it!


Our fearless Captain, Dan Walker, with Jess and a rainbow in the background.



Jess, letting it rip just before dark.


Me, wishing I could jump the wake!


Chels and I managed to grab a bunch of floating golf balls the weekend before on a kayak mission out by the Cd'A Resort Golf Course which has a driving range that you hit floaters into the lake. We snaked close to 10 of them and set up our own impromptu driving range off Elk Island. Nate and his boat in the background were both the target and the ball collectors!

Jason, Chels and Bucky, stoked on a warm, August morning on Jackson Lake.


At this point "Buck" is a well seasoned camper in his young age. The Brown Family, Jess, Case, and Buck.


Ben Jones hung around long enough before heading off to Mt. Rainer to finish up the guiding season there to score a sweet weekend in Jackson.


Our eclectic mix of boats. Little bit of everything.


I mean seriously, I challenge someone to find a more scenic wakeboarding backdrop.

Chels, chilling with the boys.
