Jackson

A couple weeks ago, my family and I went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It was a great week getting away from the world and exploring the outdoors, smelling that freeeeesh country grass. We camped almost the entire week. It was so much fun and we had many adventures. Here's what we did:

  • Went to Soda Springs on our way up and had natural soda water... interesting.

  • Set up camp in the rain.

  • Shopped, shopped, and shopped.

  • Went to the most disgusting burger place. ever. They cooked in front of us... let me just say I'm glad I don't normally watch people cook my food.

  • Went to Mormon Row... a beautiful view of the Tetons with the bonus of awesome old barns.

  • Saw a shoot out and went to the Family Saloon connected to the Playhouse. It was a cute little saloon and we got to sit on saddles. The best part? The malts... mm mmm good. :)

  • Celebrated Mom and Dad's anniversary at Smith's.

  • Went canoeing... then showered. Ah, best feeling ever.

  • Saw plenty of buffalo.

  • One word: Cowboys.

  • Went white water river rafting (boy, was that an experience)... and missed the Big Kahuna.

  • Saw a huge moose in our campsite.

  • Saw a Harry Potter tent.

  • Met with my entire family on my Mom's side to see the Bar-T-5!

  • Went to the Bar-T-5 and met my awesome relatives who own the chuck wagon. We rode in wagons, ate dinner, and watched a fun show. Then talked to all our relatives afterwards. It was so much fun meeting and getting to know family. One of my 2nd cousins, Trevin, is so cute. He's 8 and he already knows how to get the ladies. This is what he told me, "How old are you?" I said 17. "You're beautiful." Aw, thanks Trevon! "If you're older than 13 you're beautiful, and if you're younger than 13 you're cute." So what are you if you're 13? "Mmmmm... bute." Hahaha! Such a cute kid!!

  • Went the morning after the chuck wagon to see all 60+ horses at the Bar-T-5. Awesome. :)

  • Drove for hours and hours.

  • Had shakes at Arctic Circle.

  • Had a blast of a time with my family.
