Jackson Hole

Every year for Memorial Day the Carlson family packs up and goes to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I think almost every year it has either rained or snowed all weekend long. Needless to say this weekend it rained, the entire time. Despite the rain we still had a great time. I am sure we will be back again next year.

There were 20 couples and 15 kids. It was crazy. The boys all get up early, 4:45 am and go fishing. They have to be there before the park ranger gets there at 6:00. I don't think any fish is worth that , but whatever. It's rather nice, once they left I had the KING size bed all to myself. Ash and I didn't wake up until 9:00 - 9:30 , then we would have a nice breakfast, I was able to do all my exercising , and get ready for the day before the boys got home. I have to say that I am really proud of my 2 boys, they did not complain when it came time to get up in the morning, or they never complained about being cold or tired, They are so AWESOME..

Here is what some of the Little girls did while the boys went fishing, I would much rather do what the girls did then what the boys did.. What do you think?? Bennett came home from fishing and decided he needed to get in touch with his girl side.. ha ha that makes dad proud!!

The finished product. This is my sweet little niece Whitney, She is so cute. I love her to death. I have to say thanks to my other niece Jaden. She was so cute with all the little girls, she would do complete makeovers for anyone who was up for it. Ash just loves her, so thanks Jaden you are a great babysitter..

You can't go to Jackson without seeing all the animals , right?? We went to the visitor center in town and they had all these stuffed animals. I didn't care, at least it was warm.. Here are some of those pictures

My boys were in Heaven. They thought it was so cool to be this close to a real bear. They are just like their dad, they love the outdoors and all the animals.



Ashtyn was afraid of most of the animals, this is the only one she would really get close to without Randy or I holding her. She still wasn't set on the idea of touching the bird.

This is Sasquatch. It was so funny that we seen him, we always tell our kids to watch out for Sasquatch at night time, to tease them. They would always say that he is not real, now I think they believe us..

By the end of the day everyone had enough! We were all tired and ready to go back and have a nice long nap.
