A teepee all her own


The summer of 2010 was quite a memorable one. Grandpa John built a teepee for Addie in his backyard just outside of Greybull. It's an 18-foot diameter Sioux style teepee, so it can hold the whole family.

Grandpa John and JD trace Adeline's handprints on the door of the teepee in the above photo. John hand-painted the inside and outside patterns and drawings.


Night and the teepee go well together. Rick fills the air with mellow guitar while Stephanie, Cathy and John lounge by the inside fire...JD rocks it by the outside fire.

Experiencing the teepee is complete with an overnight stay. Two large cots and sleeping bags make for a cozy night. Adeline surely loved it. She slept better that night than the whole weekend we were in Greybull. We awoke with a hint of campfire on our pajamas and cold noses.
