Fun at Jackson!!

We took a family vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  That's behind the Grand Tetons (at least from the view from our house).  We had A LOT of fun there! 

When we first got there, we went to Jenny Lake.  We had a picnic there and then played a little bit in the lake.








Next, we decided to go on a boat ride across the lake.  Here we are waiting for the boat to come pick us up.


Here we are on the ferry boat going across Jenny Lake.




When we got to the other side, we went on an awesome hike!  Us kids liked to get off the trail and climb big rocks.


Here I'm collecting rocks that looked like crystals and minerals.


This one was the biggest one we climbed on the Grand Tetons.


We made it to Hidden Falls, a waterfall that hidden in the mountains.  It was SUPER awesome!!  It was so fun!










Now we're going back across the lake to the other side.

The next day, we went to the Alpine Slide at the Snow King resort.  I got to ride the lift that took us up the mountain.  It was beautiful!

This is the lift taking me up!

This is the Alpine Slide.


Here I come sliding down the mountain!
That's my mom and Brynnlee coming behind me.

You can go slow or fast on the slides, but I went super fast!!


After the slide, we went to a park that had a cool rock wall to climb.






Here I am at the top!

Then I did the zig-zag monkey bars.  It was so fun!






Later we went into Downtown Jackson.  They have this really cool shop that has LOTS of stuffed animals.  And when I say stuffed animals, I mean animals that were hunted and killed then stuffed so that they could be statues.


This is the HUGE grizzly bear that almost ate me.  Just kidding.  : )

This is the black bear that decided to have a rest on my shoulder.


This is the elk horn archway into the park.  Those are a lot of horns!

At another shop, they had LOTS of statues that were really cool!




Then we went to the Rec Center to play in the pool.

After that, we went to get some yummy ice cream!  I got chocolate.

I had a lot of fun at Jackson Hole!  I can't wait to go back there some day, but next time, we'll have to stay for longer than two days!

Water fun at Grandma's house!!

These are my grandma's two awesome water slides!  We love to go up to her house to play on them.  On one of the water slides, you get to slide from the top of it and when you get to the bottom, you're filled with water on top of you.

The other water slide also has sprayers and a tunnel to slide through.  You land in a pool and get covered with water.  They are so much fun on a hot summer day!                                                                                                                                   
        

                      





This is Brooks, my little brother, wearing my mom's sunglasses and it looks like they're his eyes that he stretched open super wide!  He's a pretty funny guy!

This is my cousin, Bretta.  She was having her birthday party at my grandma's house.  My mom made the cake and the cupcakes.  We only ate the cupcakes and they were delicious!  Her cake was a purse cake.
We had such an awesome time!!!
