We love this beautiful Earth! We went to Granite Falls, walked across biting cold water to sit in a hot spring and walk back through that frigid water. The water prompted Gracie to say to me "Mom, now I know how the pioneers felt." as we walked...and walked and walked. I, of course, promptly told her that their toes and feet were dying and turning black they were so cold. She didn't say anything else :). I think she is extremely tough to do it without one other word of complaint or crying. I was sobbing inside, but I held it in. I'm sure I would have heard the traditional "suck it up" from my extremely sympathetic spouse. Jackson Hole was fun, and rainy, but short lived. Mostly, we just vegged and got as little sleep as humanly possible. Life is good, I love nature, I love my kids, my husband is ok, and my laundry is almost done.
