Jackson Hole, Wyoming

amazing place! i could totally live here...if i could ever afford it haha. it's just about as expensive as CA

they love there buffalo out there. oh, and i learned that a buffalo and a bison are the same thing...bison is just it's scientific name.

ski fence! cool

katie and her water glass full of toys...typical

yeah...you know those dress up station they have in museums for little kids...well i guess we just haven't lost the little kids inside us yet haha

even gary wanted to join in on the fun...more like my mom held him down while betsy tied it to his head and i snapped the picture :)

horse carriage ride through Jackson Hole. oh, and i have to put a picture up of the license plate i bought...its so cool! it's a Wyoming license plate from 1984 and it's yellow and brown, but somewhere along the road (no pun intended) got splattered with black paint. i love it!

oh the signs we came across...yay for the grand tetons!

what an amazing place!

katie's favorite part...the park that was across the street from the place we stayed: The Rusty Parrot...what a name haha

look at the hair! haha cute girl!

gettin' ready to rain...and me being artsy

speaking of rain, i have a story. so, after this pic was taken, it did start pouring rain and since everything in Jackson is walking distance, we were just walking alsog when the heavens decided to open up. gary, betsy and katie were ahead and my mom and i were waiting to run across the st. under another awning thing when someone says "hey, do you go to Westmont?!" i looked around at the guy who had spoken to me and then i remembered i was wearing a Westmont t-shirt. i told him that i would be a freshmen there next year and much to my surprise he goes "me too!". small world. i mean, of all the places to meet someone going to school with you next year on a street corner in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (especially a school in so cal). he was from dallas texas and we talked for a little while.

my parents enjoy coloring...it calms them. haha they both look so concentrated.

well, it was an amazing trip! i'm so glad i got to go!
