Day 11: A peaceful day

June 1,2013

The rain is definitely behind us! We have now had 2 gorgeous days.  Today was even better than yesterday! Not a cloud in the sky. Warm and with a slight breeze, just enough to cool one down from getting too hot.  After waking up slowly, we made breakfast and headed out for a hike. The hike we choose was to Two Oceans lake. Little did we know that to get to the trail head we would have to do some off-roading, ha. This made us a little nervous, David mainly, since our Honda is set pretty low to the ground and the ruts in the road were pretty big. We eventually got to the tail head and, after reading our bear spray directions, headed out on our hike.

The hike began with a steep incline but soon placed us at the summit which overlooked the beautiful "two oceans lake" and the surrounding mountains.  IT was so peaceful and serene. As we were basking in the sun and enjoying how quiet and peaceful it was, until... ring ring ring, David's phone goes off, really?! It was not even an important call, a telemarketer got us. Ridiculous! haha but it was funny at the same time. After tossing rocks for awhile, we headed back down.  Fortunately, no bear spray was needed.  We then took a very relaxed afternoon sitting on a picnic table, reading and playing cribbage. The view was yet again breath taking and left us in awe of our Great God who created the Tetons.

We went bear watching again, but did not see any movement. We realized how blessed we really were to not only see bear, but also see all the activity we did the night before.

The rest of the evening we made dinner and played 2 person Pepper, a family game that is similar to Euker.  You really need 4 people to play, but David and I made it work with 2. We, us verse our "opponents", are now tied 1-1. haha We are weird, but it was fun! :) (One of the most important abilities necessary to play with two people is the ability to forget things. I, David, have a unique knack for this. I can pretty easily look at my 'opponents' cards and play as if I hadn't... who knew that would come in handy?)
 

Two more days left here in the Tetons and then we will be heading to Salt Lake City for 2 days to pick up  David's brother Noah. He will be joining us for the remaining portion of the trip to Yosemite. We decided to reduce the amount of driving and cut out Oregon and Northern California.
 

Only 16 more days until David will start his job at Occidental Petroleum! 

We would appreciate prayers for finding a decent (and near-work) RV site to be able to park!
