Yellowstoned: Day 2, Mesa Falls and Jackson Hole

Off to the falls! 

 

I've been to Mesa Falls several times, but I always love coming here. Lots of good memories. 

 

This is a new good memory.  :) 

Jenn, wee William, and me. 

The tiny (and fashionable) Ivie.

 

The even tinier and equally cute Cicely. 

That'd be us.  (when I said the photo shoot was over yesterday...I lied)

Sleepy William. 

 

The Aaron Higleys. 

 

The Ben Higleys

 

The Mom and Dad Higley.  :)

While on our dust walk hike to the lower falls, we found some pretty cool stuff.  Ivie is pointing out this particular bit of cool. 

It was a cool view that I'd never seen before...I just needed snacks. 

Me and Jackie after the successful hike (and snack, I guess). 
 
 
After the hike, Nate and I made the drive over to Jackson Hole... we were kind of concerned because we got a late start, but we had just enough time to get there, give Lyndsay a high five, and head to the Bar J Ranch for dinner.  Really though...I'd forgotten how little excitement Jackson holds for me, so seeing the Petersons (extended family and all) was an awesome side trip.

Don't we have a beautiful family? 

We spotted this gal right on our way to Bar J. 

And this guy right as we got there...bit early for Halloween, but I love the holiday, so whatever. 

Before dinner.

During dinner. 

My seatmate, Miss Sadi. 

Nate proving what an awesome uncle he is...look how jealous fluorescent guy is in the background...

This guy even looks a bit jealous...

The Bar J Ranch was awesome!  I was afraid it was kind of an old person hangout (it kind of is), but the food and music (especially) was great!  It was a fun night and glad we did it. 

We didn't have this view on the way home, but it's probably the kind of stuff we missed out on by driving home at midnight.
