Jackson

Over Memorial weekend we went on vacation to Jackson, Wyoming. It was so nice to go on vacation and spend some time with family. We left on Thursday night and spend that night in Idaho at my brothers in-laws home. It was nice because Madison slept for the 3 hour drive. It was really great to break up the drive. My  brothers in-laws were so great to let us stay at their home. Madison enjoyed spending some extra time with her cousin Payton. It seemed liked Payton had fun playing with Madison too and she was very cute with her. Here are a bunch of pictures from our time away.

This is us and Payton hanging out at my brothers in-laws in Idaho.
 Cute Jensen (My brothers little boy).
We stayed at the Jackson Lake Lodge. This is the main lodge that we spent lots of time at.
Grandparents trying to feed Madison, but she was too busy with everything else going on.
On Friday night we had dinner at the Pioneer Grill in the lodge. It was good food and we had a really good dessert of ice cream between two large cookies with chocolate and caramel. It was yummy.
This is my sister Kami hanging out with Madison in our little lodge while we unloaded our stuff.
Madison looked so cute all snuggled in my little brother Steven's coat.
This was the view of the Tetons from the lodge where we stayed. It was amazing.

We went took a little walk on a trail by our lodge. It was beautiful and we saw a few animals.

So happy!

Here we are at Jackson Hole.
We played at a playground in Jackson hole. Madison enjoyed the slide.
Madison's first time being pushed in a swing by herself. Madison had lots of fun with her Aunt Kami.
Some of us played some frisby golf with some homemade markers. I actually was the only one to get a hole in one which was fun. My brother Craig got a different hole in one, he actually threw the frisby and it hit his 3 month old son w ho was laying on the grass way far away. We felt bad for Jensen, he was crying for a little bit, but finally got settled down.
Fam waiting in the lobby of a golf club where we had dinner on Saturday night.
Dinner at the Pines Restaurant at the golf club. Dinner was good, we also had a slide show and presentation. We had a grand prize drawing where 5 or 6 family members got to win a luxury they wanted that had been filled out from about 6 years ago. Mat and I actually were one of the winners. Mat and I had different luxuries so we will be figuring out which one we want We might be going on a cruise.
On Sunday we drove through Yellowstone. Here are the tall snow banks. Crazy how much snow there still is up there.
Hanging out at the main lodge.
On Sunday night we had dinner at the lodge. There was 62 people of us.
A cute little picture of  my cousins Mindy and Jessica and sister Kami at dinner.
That night we celebrated a few birthdays of some of the fam that had birthdays over the trip or close to it. We sang them all happy birthday and had some cake.My sister Kami had her 25th birthday on that Monday.
The birthday cake.
Sunday was a long night with dinner and the program and Madison was really tired and finally fell asleep on Mat.
