Jackson Hole...

Shane is a good husband for a lot of reasons... one of them is that he is really good at getting us free trips to Jackson Hole. For years Shane has done carpet work for the Snow King Resort. They LOVE him up there... pretty much think he hung the moon... and is the best installer in the west... they tell us all the time... "Just let us know when you want to come up... we'll take care of ya." We've taken them up on that offer several times over the years. This time they wanted him to do a few repairs (that took him all of 2 hours) and they put us up in this sweet condo for the weekend. Pretty sure we didn't need the entire 2000 sq foot... 3 bedroom... 4 bath... full kitchen... 2 family room condo. But it was awfully nice!! So were the free breakfasts and lunches that we had at the resort...


Unfortunately the weather was monsoon like... hence we didn't get to use the 10 free alpine slide passes... or the 10 trampoline/bungee passes. The girls were awfully bummed about that!! But we did have an awfully nice place to "chillax" in out of the rain.

We took a drive looking for wildlife...that was a bust... we saw buffalo WAY out in a field... and an elk's rear... pretty much this was all the wildlife we saw...



The girls were excited that we did finally see several fox right off our deck.


We were feeling guilty about eating every meal at the resort (on the resorts tab). So one night we ventured out to "Bubba's" one of our very favorite restaurants in Jackson. I should have known my girls would be ecstatic about that... because Bubba's being a bbq place has "towelettes"... our girls have a love for "towelettes"... I mean they steal them off of other tables and are so giddy that they got "extras". I told Tayler I should buy her a box of individually wrapped towelettes for her birthday. She was so happy you'd think I had said I should buy her a car!!"
She was almost as happy as when we let her stop and pick a YELLOW flower! That child is pretty easy to please!!
We debated staying another couple of days... as we were told we could stay as long as we wanted... but we had other plans so we had to pack up. Thanks Shane... I give you a hard time for being a brown-noser... but there are definite perks!!
