Grandma Ross with Marshall (Ashley's son) and Brynne in front of Mud Lake at the lodge. I told you it was beautiful!
My parents, Ashley and Marshall stayed in the cabins each night; while Lindsey, Morgan, Brynne and I spent the first two nights in a tent and the last night in a cabin. There were a lot of tall rocks to climb on in the campground, and the girls took full advantage of the chance to play on them. (You may remember from the Teton post that my girls LOVE climbing on rocks!)Morgan took her camp chair onto the rocks to relax and enjoy the view.

We drove into the Wind Rivers on Morgan's birthday (22nd) and were there for my birthday the next day (23rd). Morgan's birthday also happens to be my parents' anniversary. We decided to have a mini group party on the 23rd to celebrate all the events. Mom brought some pie, and we also made smores.Ashley made me this nice bag for my birthday. It was really nice to get a present in the mountains.
Morgan also got a present. Aunt Lindsey bought her the "Tales from Avonlea" DVD set. She had never heard of it but has loved watching some of the episodes since we've been home.
Linz, me, and Ash making smores. (Well, actually, I'm making smores; Ash & Linz are just looking cute...)
Brynne eating a smore. Take note of the black soot all over the face. You may have to enlarge for full affect.
The highlight of my birthday was a day hike Linz and I went on. We hiked 6 miles into Poston Meadows, which is where we backpacked to every year growing up. We spent 1 1/2 hours in the meadow eating lunch and relaxing before hiking the 6 miles back to the lodge. A huge thanks to my parents and Ash who stayed behind with the kinds to make the hike possible! 
Linz and me in front of the East Fork River in the meadow.
Sitting on a rocky bar in the middle of the East Fork River. The rocky bar is completely surrounded by water, so we had to take off our shoes and ford the river to get there. This is where we ate our lunch and relaxed. The place where we set up camp the last couple times we backpacked is in the trees off to the left of my head.
I LOVE this picture of Linz!
Lindsey (quite the budding photographer) found this log and took several pictures of me on it. She also set up her timer and took several pictures of us on the log together (unfortunately I don't have copies of her pictures yet...). Just for the fun of it, try and imagine Lindsey pushing the start button on her camera and then darting across the river and onto the log with me before the picture took -- very good entertainment! :)
On Friday, we had a horseshoe tournament at the lodge. We knew from past experience that Lindsey would be the person to beat. She claimed she was out of practice, but so were the rest of us...once again she licked us all.

Brynne had her own idea of how to play horseshoes. Check out this neat trick!
Grandma and me swinging Marshall. You can see one of the cabins we stayed in in the background.
We had our last two meals at the lodge (thanks Dad!). They make some wonderfully yummy food there! Brynne, Grandma, Grandpa, Marshall, Ash, Morgan, Me.
And yet another super cute picture of Brynne with her Grandma Ross. :)
Leaving the Wind Rivers was hard, but going through 200 pictures to try and select only a few for this post was even more difficult. We had such a good time and have plenty of pictures to prove it.

You mean now back to Winkflash to get these picture into a book ... :)
Hil,
Linz says to tell you she is disappointed that you didn't put her two favorite pictures on your blog. Hint- you are jumping in the air.
As for myself, I am trying not to be envious of your two nature experiences. How wonderful! How fun to go with Linz up to Poston meadows too. Ah, the memories.
