Tyler is "writing" the message tonight.

"We had a slower morning - we went to church out by the river (where we had the cookout the 1st night). We had 2 fiddle players, a singer, and the chaplain. After that, we went to the Sunday brunch at the Lodge.

We had to drive into Jackson Hole and then took a bus to the where we got in the water (Snake River). There were 5 rapids. The biggest was the Big Kahuna; where I got to go up to the very front of the boat and get soaked by the huge rapid. Jeremy (our guide) called it "Hang Face" because you hang your face over the front of the boat! The next rapids were: The Lunch Counter, The Rope Braid, The Champagne, and The Cottonwood. On the rafting trip, we saw 2 eagles. Kevin & Dad rode in the front & got soaked!

We went back into Jackson for some shopping and ate at Mountain High Pizza Pie. Kevin bought his first cowboy hat! On way back, we went into Teton National Park and saw Chapel of the Transfiguration, Jenny Lake, and Signal Mountain. I got close enough to feed a chipmunk. At Oxbow Bend, we saw 2 huge moose. Then, we headed home. On the road to our ranch, I spotted 2 elk right near the road. The end"

Quotes for the day:
Kevin "I can't wait to sport my new cowboy hat on the ranch!"
Tyler " Tomorrow, I'll to start saying some quotes."
Terri "Aww look, a chipmunk" (all Terri's pictures on her camera are of animals!)
Keith (upon seeing the huge moose) "Nice rack!"
Julie "Tyler, hold on tight!" (while Tyler is hanging face over the raft)
