Jackson, Wyoming

The weather was great, the kids were crazy. We stopped at the Willow Park Zoo in Logan which was really cool. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially if you haven't seen a coyote or a baby emu. The kids were in rare form avoiding photographs.

Any photo like this with a calm-looking and smiling Isaac has almost certainly been bribed out of him.

This is a cool place that closed before we got there...we'll try again some day. No one would pose with me for this photo.

It's a long drive to Jackson from our house. Jovie yelled, "The sun is in my eyes!" every time it was. I told her to look out Ikey's window and she'd always ask if she could. He said no one time, so she fell apart until I gave her my glasses. Isn't she a cool kid?

The kids talk non-stop in the car and sometimes it's funny. Ikey said, "I noticed my bed was missing in my room." Jovie said, "Is it under the sheets?" Ikey laughed and said, "Oh yeah, it is!"

I told TB that we should do one of those old-timey family photographs as are so popular in Western resort towns. He said, "What, so the three-year-old can hold a rifle and dress up like a bank robber and the two-year-old can look like a saloon girl?" So instead, they just wore costumes at the history museum. 

 I told Jovie that this was a "trapper" costume. The next day, she said she wanted to "dress like a catcher again".

 

We went to the National Park and took my required photo at the sign.

We rode the Jenny Lake boat and it was Jovie's first boat ride, besides canoes and rowboats, and she loved it. It threatened to rain, and it did just a little.

 We hiked to Hidden Falls and Jovie threw several "logs" and rocks in.

We hiked up to Inspiration Point to see the whole Jenny Lake.

 The kids lugged around some moose antlers in the visitor's center.

Ikey flashed a gang sign at the antler arch in Town Square.
