Swimmers Ear

So, Alicia just went to the doctor and was told she had swimmers ear! I am blaming the overly crowded, most likely contaminated hot springs! Sorry Alicia!! We'll get ear plugs for next year!!

Canoeing the String Lake

This has become one of my favorite parts about going to Granite. We started this new tradition last year. The String Lake is beautiful. It's located in the Grand Teton National Park. Is about 1.5 miles long and .8 miles wide. The deepest spot might be about 8-10 feet or so. For people like me, who do not like deep waters... this is perfect!

Alicia's plunge!
Alicia bought some goggles and spent some time just checking things out!
Me. Safe and sound... on land!

Jumping into the Ice Cold Granite Creek!

Garden Update!

The garden is growing!

We lost a few plants- to either bugs, not enough water, too much sun... not really sure. Our tomatoes, corn, beans and pumpkins are going strong! The peppers are just starting to grow. Haven't seen any squash, but at least the plant is still alive! Well, one of them anyway.

Looking straight at the tomatoes.

One pumpkin & one squash. I can't believe how big the pumpkin plant is!

A little green pepper and an oddly seperated pinky finger.

We have I bet a hundred green tomatoes. I can't wait until all the tomatoes are ripe! I told the girls at work that I would bring some in. If I dont eat them all first!

The corn. I don't know what I am more excited for- to eat the corn...

or to cut it down, tie it and put it on my porch for the fall season.
