Porky Sees Grand Tetons National Park

Today was absolutely insane!  This was my first time in Wyoming, and I almost jumped out of my coat when I saw my first bison.  I didn’t realize that bison were going to become a regular part of my life in Wyoming until later.

My parents stopped about a million times to take pictures along the drive.  I was getting so annoyed watching them, but I kept my cool because I was very excited to get into the park.

The first night I was terrified of seeing a Grizzly bear.  I heard that they like the taste of small dogs, so Charlie and I tried to be as vigilant as we could.  We stopped by Jackson Lake, and it was really fun to sit on the rocks – did you know the beach here doesn’t have any sand?  I didn’t.  We got some serious RnR by the lake before my parents took us on a little adventure to Jenny Lake.  When I saw Jenny lake, I wondered why we even bothered with Jackson Lake, but then I realized it was because they wanted to be around us, and we were able to get a lot closer to Jackson Lake than Jenny Lake.

After we made it home, I passed out and slept for at least 12 hours, maybe more.  The next day, we explored the campground and my parents went on a long adventure across the lake.  They hiked up to Cascade Canyon and back and said it was fun.  I was fine not joining them, because it seemed like a lot of walking to me, but Charlie was distraught with being left out.
