One Lake, One Canoe equals No Camera

We are in Grand Tetons National Park, if your following along there have been three posts today so go back and catch up. There is John sitting beside his, theirs, our campfire. We had a little trouble getting our fire going and the good people next to us came over and "consulted" bringing their hatchet, making kindling and embarrassing my poor husband!
The Grand Tetons are majestic to say the least, so large and just right there and the view from Jackson Lake first thing in the morning with the reflection of the mountains in the water is a site I wish I could share with you. Unfortunately we were unable to take any pictures on our canoe trip. When we were loading up the canoe the ranger was helping and I thought I should help too, John of course was already in the boat. I was going to push off and jump in...it didn't quite happen like that and somehow the boat started tipping and the next thing I knew John was swimming around in the lake saying all kinds of new words. Honestly, I tried not to laugh but it could not be helped and as the Fitzmaurice tradition holds we have lost now 3 cameras on canoe trips! So no pics. But not to fear we did have dueling camera's and mine is dry, I just was smart enough not to bring it on the canoe outing.

We went around 9 am and Jackson Lake is huge....we did not see another boat until 10 am and then we only saw 2 the whole time. It was a fun row around a rather large Island that usually is not there, only because of the large snow pack it and all the rivers, lakes and streams are overflowing. Usually this piece of land is connected to some other land and it is not an Island at all. After Jackson Lake we did some more rafting down the Snake River, but no camera for that adventure either. We are in Thayne Wyoming, we just returned from some neighbors we met at Church this morning. Wyoming is very layed back and people are extrememly friendly. 13 more days until we meet our kids in Mammoth and see our Julia Rose! God Bless You All!
