Jackson Hole 2012

This year was only the second time Matt and I have attended the annual Fischer family trip to Jackson. It is a hard trip for us to go on because school has just started and I can't take any days off, and now with Matt working so much in the summer and fall, he was pretty busy too. So, we only got to go for the weekend, we drove up Friday night after work and left Monday morning, but it was still a really fun trip! It was fun on Friday night to pull into the campground and see all the trailers lined up on both sides of the street that belonged to people in our group. Matt and I had our pick of about a million campsites where we could set up our tent, which was one of two in our group of 40 people. I'm never going to buy a trailer. Everyone in the Fischer family has a trailer (as of this week) so I can use their bathroom and freezers if I need to, and I don't mind sleeping in a tent, even though we did get wet in our tent! It rained like crazy at night and our tent is... old. It was an adventure waking up with puddles inside the tent. On Saturday we were in charge of breakfast and made yummy scones with Todd and Melissa. Then everyone went into Jackson to do some shopping. I bought a new book of course and Matt bought his new cowboy hat. He was so excited. He tried on like every hat in the store before he made his decision. We also found these sweet hats next to this sign:

After shopping we headed over to Bar J for dinner and a show. I really do like the show, I could do without dinner though. They are entertaining to watch and the music is amazing. Jenny and Lisa went like seven hours early and sat in line to get us all great seats (I think it is almost my turn to wait in line...). Cute Harrison and Reagan were loving the show. Harrison was dancing the whole time and Reagan was singing along!

On Sunday we had a fun day out camping. I love just hanging out with everyone. Tim gave Reagan this rock to suck on while we were waiting for breakfast to stop her from eating small rocks off the ground... I am learning so much about parenting!

After relaxing in camp, we all packed lunch and went out to a lake with the canoe that Randy brought. It was so beautiful and calm, and even Matt trying to tip over the canoe while we were both fully dressed was fun. The kids had a blast swimming and throwing rocks in the water. On our way back to camp, we went for a scenic ride looking for some wildlife. We didn't see anything, but it was still nice. Dinner was delicious that night, but the best entertainment was Reagan and Harrison in the pack-and-play beating up on each other. I couldn't get a good clear picture of them together because it was already pretty dark and they were moving around so much, but I did get this cute one of Harrison and the next one of Randy intervening when Harrison attempted to whack Reagan on the head!

We left early on Monday morning and while it was sad to leave the awesome weather and come home to the heat! We definitely go on this trip at the perfect time of year!
