Finally! Our Jackson Hole trip!!

Okay, so we've been trying to take this trip for 3 years now & finally got there! We went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming over Memorial day weekend (kinda for my b-day). The weather was not ideal (rainy, cold, snowing at times) but we made it work. We saw lots of animals, checked out the Bar J wranglers & other features, stayed in a really nice resort, went swimming every night & most importantly . . . relaxed!! It was great to get away!

The fam (those are all real antlers)


They had a little festival going and Addie pounded/imprinted a leather necklace

Got a little face-paint

There was some cool stores with crazy taxidermy there!


Addie buddied up with one tough Indian!

He was kinda hunky

We had some fun at the antler emporium



Addie & I almost got attacked by a bear!


Dave didn't know what to do!

We had to see the Bar-J Wranglers! And they lived up to their reputation ~ it was very funny & entertaining



We stayed at a really nice resort called the Teton Moutain Lodge. It was right at the base of the ski hills ~ so beautiful! I would highly recommend it to anyone!!

Our room had a full kitchen and "Chef Dave" treated us very well for each meal

Addie's kittie ~ she insisted I take a picture

Scrumptious Ribeye dinner ~ mmmmm!

At an overlook by our hotel

Caught a glimpse of some baby owls. So neat.

The gorgeous Teton range ~ too bad it was cloudy the whole time. This was the best shot we got.

I just had to post these ~ She looked so cute, trying to catch a butterfly! My little model


My pretty Addie

A funny ground-hog. He wasn't afraid of us at all!

Two of them

Addie and the groung-hog

Waterfall on the way to Inspiration Point

Oops ~ wanted to catch a shot with Bree too!


Yay! We finally saw a moose! He was pretty young but just hanging out at the very top of our hike around Jenny Lake ~ what a reward!

The view from Inspiration Point (over Jenny Lake)


Addie found some chipmunks that would eat right out of her hand. She loved it!

We were pretty tired at the top (after carrying our kids up the steep part of the hike)

Bree pooped out on the way back

So we decided to take the shuttle boat home. So nice to have the option!



Pretty scenery on the boat

Dave spotted a Moose!! (out by our hotel) ~ (live video below)


A neat Elk with a full rack too!


We never spotted a bear ~ so we "cheated" on the way home & bought passes to Bear World.

A mountain goat with it's baby

Some bison

Cool Albino Elk

Awesome Grizzly Bear ~ you could drive your car through the park and they were just outside walking around you. It was SO cool!



Huge Black Bear

Two Grizzlys playing in the water


They even had tiny cubs that were so playful



Bree loved the petting zoo!

And of course Addie was in heaven!


I've always wanted to walk up and pet a deer

Dave and his buddy


They had a really cool moose ~ so fun to look at him up close

The pot-belly piggies

This chicken was so big ~ I had to take a picture

Aren't we a cute bear family?

They even had some fair rides ~ with NO lines. Addie loved that one!
