Jackson, Wyoming

The last stop on our vacation was Jackson, Wyoming. Hot showers again, yeah! We walked around the square and hit a lot of art galleries and a rock shop or two.

Of course we had to take pictures by the antler arches around the town square. When David first saw these he asked me if they were real. I love questions like this from Mr. "I grew up in the largest city in the world". I replied "Of course they're real." Then he said "I don't see how they think it's okay to kill all those animals just to make these arches!" Again I just couldn't keep the laughter in. After numerous attempts to stop, I was finally able to explain about the Elk Refuge outside of town and what "shed hunting" means.

Adam, Mom, Matthew, Jacob and Dad

After our trip I pulled out these pictures to show David:

Left to Right: Amber, Amy, Ashley and Autumn. I was 4 1/2 years old in this picture and we lived in Weiser Idaho.

Left to Right: Autumn, Ashley (11 1/2 years old), Aaron, Amber, Ammon and Amy and we lived in Provo, Utah. The funnest part about these pictures in 1992 was that we were camping in the same tent trailer that my family camped in for this trip in 2009. And we borrowed it from our friends both times. That tent trailer has been to Yellowstone probably a dozen times and is almost 30 years old.

Here are Jacob and Adam enjoying a strawberry smoothie after walking around and being such good boys not touching everything in the galleries.

This is where we stopped to have some lunch on our drive home and I just thought it was a good picture of all my boys. Plus I'm really loving the hat!
