In August Jason and I went to Yellowstone for our summer vacation. We didn't think Jaxon would be very interested in a 17 hour car ride and looking at scenery so we scheduled the week for him to stay with all the grandma's in addition to the normal babysitter during the day. We had a great time, missed the little guy like crazy but it was wonderful to get away. We've been trying to go to Yellowstone for a couple years now. I'll just share a few pictures below. The 1st night we stayed with my uncle George in Colorado, and then we went to Jackson, Wy (Jackson Hole) for the 2nd night. We spent the day in Jackson and seeing the Tetons and finished driving to Yellowstone that afternoon. So I don't keep up on all the cool places to go, but I guess Jackson Hole is one of them I'm told. We had a really good time there. Its a neat little town, with lots of little shops selling everything from $5 t-shirts to $55,000 statues. We stayed in Teton village. There is a tram that is used as a ski lift in the winter and for parachuters and sight seeing in the summer.

We decided against camping and I'm so glad we did. We got up at 6 one morning and it was on 28 degrees. The other mornings were at least in the 40's but wow I'm not into freezing my butt off in a tent. We also went white water rafting but we didn't get any pictures since we couldn't take our camera. The best part of going in the raft was the 8 year old little girl with her parents. She was freezing from the water but was never gonna admit it. During the calm parts of the trip we were able to jump in the water. If you wanna get your heart racing, jump in. It was freezing, but fun. Jason made a deal if I jumped in, then he would do it. So I jumped right in. Well lets just say I had to call him out, because he tried to go back on the deal.
We were already planning our return trip in the future with more hiking and fishing.
