On Friday, my dad, step mom, and I got up at about 6am to go check out the wildlife at Grand Tetons National Park. We didn't really see any wildlife at all. It was rather disappointing. We ended up finding some really cool areas to take landscape photos. There was this one lake (Leigh Lake) that was like glass when we got there and the mountains reflected perfectly on the water. Then we went to Mormon Row where some of the most famous photographs were taken (allegedly). I don't remember ever seeing anything like it, but that's just me. We also had a little breakfast at this outdoor chuckwagon place. It was really cool because we ate outside on picnic tables with the Tetons in the backgound.
Later on in the afternoon after we went back to the RV to pick up my sisters and we went to ride this alpine slide. It was so much fun! We even got my dad to ride. You ride down this plastic u-shaped slide in the side of a mountain on these plastic coaster things. (Don't you love my technical explanation?) The only crappy thing was when you get stuck behind a slow person. My dad and I were "racing" each other and then we came upon my sisters. They were going too slow for us, so of course we had slow down.
After the slide, we came back to the RV so others could get ready for dinner. We went to The Gun Barrel and had some interesting food including elk and bison.
After dinner we rode this gondola in Teton Village up the mountains. The view wasn't really that great because it was a little hazy.SATURDAY--
Today my dad and I got up early to go back to some of the places we went yesterday because we
wanted to go back to some of the places to get some more pics. We went back to Leigh Lake and Mormon Row. There were a lot of photographers out today at Mormon Row. I even took a picture of all of them. Ha Ha! Then we drove up to Signal Mountain to try to see some wildlife. We saw a male and two female Blue Grouse. The male was pretty cool. He just stood there and let us take his picture. When we got up to the summit there were some pretty cool views. There would have been a good view of the Tetons minus a dead tree in the way.
After making it back to the RV we all went to an art fair in Jackson Hole. I got a cool 4X6 picture of a egret that was printed on fabric, a homemade bar of soap, and a piece of pottery. We came back to the RV to hang out and then drove up this Teton Pass and went to go check out a beaver dam. The beaver dam was built pretty well. It backed up the water into this lake and drowned lots of trees. We even got to see a 
few beavers.
