Day 7 - Jackson Hole, Teton Village, and back to Evanston

This morning we decided to let the boys sleep as long as they could. They woke up around 8:30 and went to bed at nearly the same time as the night before. The sad thing is that we're now an hour behind our IL time. Their bedtime the last couple nights has been a little before before midnight and wake up time around 9:30am. Not exactly normal for them...we're on vacation, right!

We ate breakfast at the hotel...someone made the mistake of letting the boys sit together. It wasn't quiet...we could tell they were tired. Again, one 4 yr. old in particular was whiny, already. It wasn't terrible though. We checked out of the hotel and then headed downtown Jackson Hole to do some shopping. We got some t-shirts and postcards and took some photos. We had planned on going to Teton Village which was just a short drive away to let the boys do some rock climbing...the rock wall was under construction so that didn't work out, but we did get to ride the new tram ride up to the top of Rendevous Mountain. It was HIGH...AWESOME view! The boys were loving it...had a snowball fight at the top...saw a Moose on the way back down...deer on the way up...It was 10,100 feet high. We did a little shopping/looking around the shops there and headed home. Maddox was out IMMEDIATELY...Gavin fell asleep too after a couple hours. We had about a 3 1/2 hr. drive. I slept most of the end of the ride also. One highlight of the ride home was when we were still in the big mountains...we saw a Mama Moose and her baby right next to the road. The boys didn't get to see the Moose that the rest of us saw during our tram ride...and this was much closer up. They were very excited...now the only thing we haven't seen is elk. We've still got some time though.

We came home and just hung out the rest of the evening. It was rainy this evening...so Larry and the boys played the Wii with Aunt Vicki. We're going to wait and see about tomorrow...the rain has been non-stop here according to people around here. It has rained every day for the last 2 weeks. I haven't minded it though. It seems that most of it is short-lived...most of the day is beautiful...then a shower or two. We are either headed to Aunt Vicki's "property" where she was having a cabin put up...due to the rain it hasn't happened though. The boys would be able to ride their dirtbikes there and we could hang out there throughout the day OR we are going to go to the cabin she has in the mountains in Utah...hmmm...what'll it be! I guess you'll have to wait til tomorrow...or the next day to find out.
