Jackson Hole 2011

Another September means another trip to Jackson Hole with the Hardcastles.  We missed the couple of years my grandparents were on a mission and I guess we missed last year for some reason, but other than that, we've been going up for at least 10 years now.

This year our little (big) family had a 5 bedroom house -which still seemed a little small with 2 little kids that normally have their own room.

Hyrum saw Elk, birds, a little snake and a black bear.  He told his uncles he was going to see monkey's and elephants as well, but I think they must have stayed away.  He had so much fun with all of his family and friends and was very disappointed when most of them left a day before us.  He loved all of the time outside and playing with the younger kids.  Naps were nearly non-existent and he went to bed late every night.  I never knew it could take ALL DAY LONG to get home from Jackson, but it sure took us all day on Monday to get home.

 A boat Justin made for the kids.

 Breakfast of champions.

 The awesome little snake on our walk.  Hyrum followed it around trying to touch it for a while.

 Ringing a bell with Grandpa Hardcastle

Kate did much better on the nap front and loved being around her aunt and uncles that would always hold her when she wanted to.

 Kate listening to the Elk bugle.  We didn't hear it either, baby girl.

 Hyrum really wanted to go to a museum.  Lucky for us we found one.

For those of you who stuck through this entire post... here's a little 'treat' for you.  Can you believe someone would MOON our truck on the way up??? Crazy!
