backpacking {white pine lake}

My first backpacking trip to the beautiful white pine lake in Logan canyon.  

We packed up our backpacks for a two night adventure!

We parked our car at Tony Grove Lake and hiked just over 4 miles in to White Pine.  There were a lot of day hikers but only a couple other people backpacking in.

The hike in was pretty nice, the weather was perfect and we were enjoying the beautiful scenery.




Over the river and through the trees...

We made it to White Pine Lake! It was so quite and peaceful.


I could have sat here all day and looked out at the beautiful lake....
but we had to eat :)

For lunch we had rice cakes with tunafish and avocado...
mine was just avocado with a little salt :)

We set up camp just in time for a little rain storm.

After the storm we went back to sit by the lake.  
I love being outside listening to all the noises of nature.

Dinner was a mountain house gluten-free vegan pad tai!

That night we heard coyotes... scariest noise I have ever heard.  It sounded like they were right by our camp, but the noise was just echoing off the cliffs around the lake.  So terrifying!

The next morning was gorgeous.


We hiked around the other side of the lake.


We took some fun pictures and decided we must come back!


Jake is packing up the last of camp on the day we were leaving.

Ready to go!

We made it back to Tony Grove.  Such a fun experience!  We will definitely be taking more backpacking trips in the future.

huntsman springs

The Third Annual Webb vacation in Driggs, ID
 at Huntsman Springs was a success.

We went golfing, exploring, bike riding, fishing....
We played games and sports and laughed and ate great food!

Sounds like a perfect way to spend time with family to me :)

Jake and I rode out bikes up to Grand Targhee.

It was a beautiful ride... almost too steep for me...

with a nice view of the Tetons...

 but we made it!




The view of the golf course from our cabin ;)

Golfing with the guys.




The next day of golf was girls against boys. 

My mom and I against Jake and Chris.

My mom got a new drives and was killing it off the tee!

Jake ended up with a lucky bounce to the middle of this little island.

We had so much fun I don't even remember who won :)

We went on a drive into Teton National Park.


We went to String Lake, a beautiful shallow lake north of Jenny Lake.


Next year we want to bring a paddle board to canoe to go out into the lake!

We drove into Jackson Hole to spend a little time and found my new favorite restaurant. 
 It is called The Lotus Cafe. SO GOOD!!


This little guy loves to read books...


he will just find a book and come snuggle up to you until you read to him.  

He is the sweetest little guy.

We had fun driving around in our golf cart to the park and to see the buffalo.

Logan found a little caterpillar, and named him Logan because he was red!


Cute little nephews :)

Logan and Papa fishing.

These boys love their Papa!

We took family pictures while we were all together!

Turned out pretty good :)

Thanks Mom and Dad for the awesome vacation!
