Funny story...... We headed to Grand Targhee this year for our Young Family Reunion, and I'm following my parents who have the directions to the Grand Targhee Resort and Lodge, which we were staying. As we start heading up the mountain following the signs, we get about half way and pull over....my mom thinks we may have missed the turn....according to her map. So we turn around and head back down the mountain, headed into town got gas and directions. Of course, the resort
is at the top of the mountain. So, again we start heading up the mountain into the forest, it's about 10 miles from the bottom to the top. Once we finally get to the top my dad goes in to check us all in and to our surprise (frustration) we are staying in the condos at the bottom of the mountain and we are to check in at the Teton Creek Condos......what???? Where did the Teton Creek Condos come from, our reservations just stated Grand Targhee Resort and Lodge... So we head back down the mountain, again, and find the Teton Creek Condos, after about 10 minutes there trying to figure out where to go once we get there (of course no one is in the office, they close at 5) We finally find the lock box and get our information. This is how they read............Staying at Shadowbrook Condos, 2 miles away (great more driving). Turn left on to Ski Hill Rd. On your right there will be a bank of condos, trees will be in front covering them. Turn on to Powder Run Rd, the sign is not visible, turn right after you pass Bear Lane. Excuse me??? condos hidden? why even put them in the directions, and then turn onto Powder Run, but sign not visible??? (prune the trees!!!) After all the driving up and down the mountain, and no one around to help us, those directions just made me laugh. I don't think my dad appreciated the humor I found in all of it. I guess you really had to be there .......great way to start off the reunion...I was happy to know that some of my uncles had the same problem, so it wasn't just us (doesn't that always make you feel better??)
The Teton Mountains.......beautiful!!
Just one of the many views..........
We took the chairlift up to the top of the mountain and hiked around. Bryce loved scouting out the trails for us.
The Young girls- my mom, me, Andrea, and Stephanie.....I love this picture!!!

I'm glad you found humor in driving up and down and everywhere crazy. I think I would have been with your dad...that stuff drives me nuts. Those are cute pics...looks so beautiful in the background.
Wow...what a fun place to be it sounds and looks like. Your sisters are both so grown up...they look totally different. Great picture. K. Those directions totally had me laughing for you, but also completely understand how your dad did not find humor in it at all.
