June flashback

A group of people from my ward and such got together at the end of June for a weekend rafting excursion on the Snake River in Jackson Hole, WY. One of the guys owns his own raft, so he makes an annual trip out of the whole sha-bang. Because it was so early in the season, the water was still pretty high (and cold) so we delighted in the idea of wetsuit rentals.
I was really grateful Cassie and Stacey accepted the invite to come along. It was nice to spend time together. My co-worker Kelly joined us as well. We drove together, camped together, rafted together and pretty much chilled just the 4 of us together the whole time.
I had been placed on “make breakfast duty.” Actually, I somehow had a moment of weakness and volunteered to do it before we all left. Little did I know it would include; menu-making, grocery shopping, preparing everything, waking up way too early and cooking everything all on my own for 20 people. Argh! But everyone said it was super yummy, so that at least made my heart smile. (Thanks to Kasey for lending us her dutch ovens and for her cooking tips and helpful hint of using an oven bag to avoid a messy clean-up).


Scones, biscuits & gravy, bagels, and Mountain Man meal: (eggs, bacon, onions & potatoes)

The river was great! The rapids were just enough to get my heart racing, but not so much to lead to an anxiety attack.

We all went into Jackson for dinner that night and overall just had a great trip!
