What's Been Up

Hey friends! We have been having a fabulous time. The weather here is the highlight of our trip. Its is about 50 degrees right now compared to the 150 in Houston. Since we last posted, we have been to Jackson,WY. WE LOVED THE TETONS! We had the best bbq lunch ever at Bubba's. We had a Sloppy Bubba, which for those of you that are curious is bbq brisket mixed with bbq pork served on garlic toast. We crossed Jenny Lake by boat and were told that the water was only 56 degrees. We then hiked up to Hidden Falls and it was well worth it! Jena Grace got a little light-headed but otherwise all the kids did fabulous. We left the park and headed back into town for the GREATEST musical ever! Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The cast owned it! They were super animated and really entertaining. The boys loved it when the fight scene was done in total slow motion, including one of the actors "falling" on Isaiah. Rachael loved it when Adam sang to her as if she was one of the girls in town who was a possible marriage prospect. We have been begging Jason to take us back the three hours to Jackson so we could see it again! Yesterday, we went to several places of entertainment. The St. Anthony Sand Dunes where Napoleon Dynamite's Grandma went on her date. We spent the whole day with just our family and it was really a fun special time for us. We also went to Harriman State Park, twice. We went once during the day and toured the Railroad Ranch, which was special since my Dad worked for the Harriman's and even had lunch with one of the founder's grandson. It was gorgeous and the tall evergreen trees made us ready for Christmas to arrive. We went back at dusk to hunt for moose. We found 5 beavers instead. We did get a fabulous picture of very fresh moose poop. But alas, the moose evaded us. Another highlight of the day was taking the kids for their ice cream award that they won a few days ago for finding all 50 license plates! Yeah! Today, was a fabulous day of card games, talking and eating great food here at this gorgeous house. Please pray for Jason as he has been in a lot of pain from his neck. Otherwise, we have been blessed with healthy and happy kids! We are going to go back to the park one more day but not sure which one. I also want to get up early and do a day a bird watching as there are some fabulous creatures here that I'd love to learn more about. The kids are loving spending time with their DeKelSki siblings. We only see them around meal times :-). Can't believe we just have a few more days at the house and then we head on to the final legs of our trip. Hope ya'll are enjoying the trip with us! Thanks for following along! Jana
