Jackson ACTION.....

Max's parents are nice. They have a timeshare in Jackson Hole that they don't use every year. This year they invited us to use it. So we went. They're extremely nice.

On Sunday we drove around to see what we could see.

Here is as close as a truck would take us to the GRAND TETONS.

Even from far far away, aren't they pretty?


The Max and Ruby.

Maddy traipsing through the snow.......



then realizing that . SNOW . IS . COLD.


Poor Poor Mads.

We found an abandoned cabin that was out in the boonies. I just kept saying "people used to live here." It was right out of a Little House on the Prairie book, I tell you. This is also the Squirrel Mecca of Wyoming, but we'll visit that subject later.

Cute faces - not out of a Little House on the Prairie book.



This is mostly what we saw on our adventures. There was not many open roads to explore on or trip. We explored the shops and the river instead.


It wasn't warm and usually always breezy,


but we managed to entertain ourselves with whatever was available.


We stumbled on a few little neat churches that were perched in the middle of nowhere. This one had a super cool stained glass window in it. FYI....the bathrooms weren't open.

See the pretty window?


More pretty mountains.

TREE HUGGER!

More super interesting pine cones.

Some random bug eyed hoodlums.

Another tree hugger. Those guys are EVERYWHERE.

And lastly, this one's for you, MOM.


Although the weather was mostly pretty crummy, we didn't have hot water in our condo for a day and the beds were OOMPA LOOMPA sized, we still managed to have lots of fun. We ate out and in, watched movies, played games of the regular and video kind. We took loads of wildlife pictures and missed our DVR (only during GLEE). Mostly we didn't worry about school, work, house cleaning, laundry, and bedtimes. We just enjoyed being gone. And were GLAD when we came home too.

To be continued......

Next up, The Animal splendor, Squirrel attacks and my Birthday.
