Camping with Family and Friends in the Tetons



Getting ready to go river rafting down the snake river! Wooohooo!
Beautiful Teton Mountains! P.S My mom and dad actually climbed the Grand Teton Mountain back in their glory days! AMAZING if you ask me!!! People have died on that climb...intense! They are pretty much my hero's!!
Tyler, Tosha, and their cute little babe Stetson.
Elle loving my sunglasses :) She is a doll! Love her!

Matayia and Ellie
We went on a hike up to Hidden Waterfall at Jenny Lake and as we were hiking down (Matayia on my back) says, "hey look Chantell, a horse!" Curious as to why a horse is on this hike with us I look around and lo and behold....a moose! We were way close and got to take lots of cool pictures and then we scaddadled out of there before he was done taking his water break.
Me and Bergen on the hike to Hidden falls.
Tanny as cute as can be!

Benson FaMiLy Reunion Fun Fun Fun!































(Disclaimer...this post starts at the bottom and works itself to the top in the order of things that went on! Just FYI :)...)
This is Joel and I rocking our .25 cent sunglasses! I know, I know....steal of a deal right!??? We ended up buying 6 pairs haha. We started our trip off right, thank you Evanston, WY!
This year at the reunion we got to have a sweet pinata party, go shooting, ate an amazing rib dinner! (Benson's are professionals at eating ribs!), horse back riding on grandpa's mountain, camp fires, visiting with cousins, staying up late, and just having a blast camping in the great outdoors! It was a blast! Can't wait for next year :)

Meet the Robbins :)







We aren't exactly your "average" family. But we are really good at entertaining ourselves while waiting for other family members to come out of Red Robin. :) Good times. Oh and a special thanks to the photographer...my 6 year old niece Liza :)
