Each year, we join up with my parents and spend a weekend in Jackson. We always go in the fall and it is almost always beautiful. Some years we get better weather than others. This year the weather was great, but we had a little issue with a fire. Here are this years highlights:
Throwing rocks into Jackson lake with Grandpa. This always has to happen. I believe their is a candy bar reward for anyone who can hit the buoy with a rock.
Hiking to a Sandy Beach along Leigh lake, a lovely spot for lunch and for the kids to play in the sand. (Aaron had to miss this day and hang out in the motel, because he was recovering from a little procedure to fix a herniated disc in his back:( Carson had a bit of an accident while trying to go to the bathroom in the woods, so we had to do a little "ee-nerwear swimming." (That is how my little boy says underwear, and it is so cute, we have not even tried to fix it.)
Watching elk each evening and listening to them bugle. We had a bit of a forest fire in our plans this year, so our plans were a little different. The first night the fire was pretty small, and we were able to watch the elk. On Day 2 the fire was bigger, so we had a lot of smoke in the air, and that evening we did a lot of fire watching instead. (That is why the pictures of my kiddos playing in the water start to look hazy in the background.) We could see the flames from our motel room, they were way across the lake, but pretty impressive at night.
The smoky air did make for some incredible sunsets in the evening! Thanks Mom and Dad for another great year, we can't wait for next fall to do it again!!
