Jackson Hole

So Sorry this is a LONG Blog with a lot of PICTURES!!

So lets get started!! I have a friend I grow up with that is living in Jackson Hole and has been trying to get us to go up there for years now. She Manganese a motel up there and got a very good deal on a room so we went with my Family!! My Family has not done something like this for a long time so it was way fun to go!! We have been wanting to go up and go to the National Elk Refuge Sleigh Ride for a few years now but just haven't had any time. My sister really wanted to take her little girl and just ask my mom and dad if they wanted to go this one weekend and she new I wanted to take our girls to go see it to so she ask us to go to and the next thing I knew we were all going. My sister husband didn't go his Grandpa is sick so he stayed home to help them and my little brother Brandon didn't for who know way but it was still fun!! 
So my sister Jill and her little girl Alyssa and my brother and his new girlfriend Jordan and his two boy's Kaiden and JoeJoe and my Mom and Dad went. We didn't get to go up till later on Saturday February 11, 2012 because some of us had to work till about 1 so I think we go out of here about 4 that day. 

We had to take Seth's truck and all the kids wanted to ride with us so we had to take turns on who go road with us and Alyssa got to go 1st and the girls had a lot of fun with that 

Well we all know how much Kaylee loves her FOOD!! Well I got in to the shower Sunday morning and Seth was still a sleep and when I came out of the shower this is what I found!! Kaylee had found the Club crackers and hid them in her and Carlie's bed thinking we could see them and just layed there like nothing was going on  so I had to get pic of that one I thought it was the best thing ever 

I tried to get pic of all the kids and this one is JoeJoe he just takes good pictures! he is just a good looking little boy

Here's my little Carlie I love her smile! I think she was just in heaven 

This is Alyssa. She doesn't like her pictures taken at all so when we do get one the are always loved and so cute

And Yes Seth had to start a snow ball fight because there was snow and I don't think the kids (and the adults) knew what to do with it! But they did have fun with the snowball fight



Some how it became all the kids and Seth going after my dad 

and here is one of Kaiden every time I tried to get a good pic of him he did some face like this one but it was cute!!

this is the best pictures I got of our rooms the cars where in front of it the hole time and couldn't get a good shoot of them 


One of my friends works at the Elk Refuge and she got us a good dill on the ride for that too! If you haven't been up to do this you SO need to it is worth the money to go it is so much fun and you get to see a lot.
             You don't have to be in to the out doors to like this it is just the neatest thing to see. All the     
                                                           money go to the feeding the Elk!! 
these are the horses that took us on our ride and there names were Jack and Jill

here is my family finding there sets there was only like 5 people that were not in our family that went on the sled with us 

The girl with the purple hat on is my friend Shaina (that got us the best rooms ever)
I tried to get pictures of every one on the sled 




This is the best one of a half our grope 

this is Adam and his girlfriend Jordan 

And miss Kaylee fall asleep and didn't get to see the elk and I was so sad that she didn't get to see them she would have bee so cute seeing all of them 

here is all the elk as we were riding up to them 

we got so close to them! It is the coolest thing ever to do I cant wait to go again 

The cool thing is you got to see how that get to the food under all the snow and see how they deal with the show 

these two elk acted like they where going to start to play so I just started to take pic of them and guess what the did and I got some cool shoot of them I just piked one to put on here because I had a lot of pic of this weekend 


This picture and the next one, you need to look at the antler on the right (yes you right not his) it is coming out of the center of his head they call them unicorn Elk they don't know y it is that way the just think it was some thing that happened when he was a baby that makes it come that way  


This one you need to look at the Elk on the Left  really close. Can you see what he is missing? 
if you guessed his ears you are RIGHT!! they said if the Elk are born later in the year  they get frost bit on them and they will loose them! Baby's get frost bit easier then the adults do 

Kaylee work up just as we got off the ride and Seth took her over to pet the horses 


Carlie even tried to pet one too!! I was shocked 

I had to talk this pictures of Kaylee she was so cute in her little snow pants 

The kids had so much fun playing on the snow hills at the motel. We haven't had ANY snow for the kids to play in this year so the had fun with that 

See here is another pictures of Kaiden that I tried to get a normal one and this is what I get every time 

Shaina told us about this sledding thing they have for people on the one of the ski hills and I had to go try it out I have seen them before and always wanted to do it and it was so much fun! every one else wanted to go shopping and Seth and I didn't want to we wanted to play as much as we could so we went and did this way everyone else went shopping 

Poor little Kaylee was like 3 inches to short to go down on it, so she could go. You can only have one person in a tube so they wouldn't let Kaylee ride with one of us so she just could go and she wanted to SO bad and we had a really hard time getting Carlie to go on it 

Well you hook on to this think and sit in your tube and it takes you up the hill I love that part I need one of these here is Pocatello 

then you just pic what one you want to go down and go
This is me going down showing Carlie that is not scary and it is way fun 
I'm on the Right one 



Then Carlie said she would do it and this is here getting ready to go up the hill 

The two on the line going up is me and Carlie. I'm the one up close to the top and Carlie is the bottom one 

That is us coming down on the left 

You can see Carlies face in this pic very good she screamed down the hole thing and that was the only time she went down and then she did what Carlie dose and Seth didn't get to go down we had to leave with her 


This is coming home it was snowing and it was just pretty on all the trees I had to make Seth stop and so I could take pictures of it. This is at the top of the big pass going from Idaho Falls in to Jackson Hole 

I think this is like the only picture I have with my sister! See we can be sister some times and it was fun and so nice to have a pic of my me and my sister for once!
I can't wait to get the pictures printed so I can scrapbook this fun weekend with my family!!
