Swimming in the Tetons

While we were in Alaska Basin we (Sam and I) decided to jump in the lake we were camping by. Mirror Lake that is. Once we did it everyone saw how freezing cold we were and decided to do it too! It was actually really fun.

Laura jumps in.

Rory jumped in and froze.

Even mom jumped in although it took a little encouragement. Then she jumped in twice more.

Here I am contemplating the jump. At this point most people would say 'don't do it! It's not worth it!' but for some reason all I heard was 'do it! do it! do it!'.

And here's the happy Sam. He was the bravest and jumped off the rocks first.
