It’s been so long since our last post, there is no way I can cover everything that we’ve done over the last couple of months. Here’s a summary:

We ended up spending three wonderful weeks in the Bay Area in June visiting friends and family and then pushed back to Jackson to make it home in time for our friends, Keith and Genevieve, to get married. Not even a week later we were back in the van and heading towards Boise to spend 4th of July watching fireworks, wakeboarding at Lucky Peak, bowling, and go cart racing with BJ’s dad’s side of the family. Back in Teton Valley, we spent a “free” weekend camping and hiking up Table Mountain with Tim and Mary Lynn (see their photos and blog here) before our big weekend at the 3 day Targhee Music Festival (once again … see Tim & ML’s photos here). I hope you two don’t mind us poaching your blogs

My mom and stepdad arrived the following week and we spent some time in Yellowstone, listened to a lot of live music (including Big Head Todd at the Spud Drive-In), had an amazing and totally local dinner at our friend Martha’s, and enjoyed a few days camping out along Crystal Creek with the entire Vertical Media crew.

The day they left, BJ and I trucked up Darby Canyon to a waterfall just below the Wind Caves. And yesterday I joined a small group of ladies to hike the Paintbrush Cascade Canyon Loop.

Weather and wildflowers are amazing right now and it’s hard to believe it’s already August. Amazingly, this month is plan-less. We are looking forward to exploring our own backyard on foot and bike. Will update again soon.
