So after a crazy week of preschool graduation, dance rehearsal and 2 nights of dance recitals; we took off to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone for Memorial weekend. It was fun to get away, and the girls were good travelers (thanks to a portable DVD player we take along). On Saturday May 23, 2009 we drove up to Jackson Hole and walked around town for a little while. There was some kids activities in the town square, so we spent some time there with bubbles, hula-hoops, Frisbees, horseshoes, and a ball pit. The girls loved it after sitting in the car all morning. Then we went to Bubba's for lunch with Oma and Opa Diamond, and headed to Snow King to ride the Alpine slide. There was a promotion going on at Snow King to jump on the trampoline and get strapped into the trick harness to do flips and things. So the girls jumped, and Whitney was able to do some backward flips all by herself!
On Sunday, May 24, 2009 we drove into Yellowstone park. We saw a bear, buffalo, herds and herds of elk, Old Faithful and the grand canyon of Yellowstone. This world is a beautiful place!
On Monday, we drove home through Bear Lake and stopped for a picnic and the famous raspberry shakes! YUM! (that is by my request of course.)
Whitney trying the hula hoop. John loves her blonde hair, and calls this picture "Lady Godiva"
Summer loves the trampoline at our house, so she was really excited to jump at Snow King, and with some help can jump really high!

It looks like you guys had a good time. I'm so sad we couldn't go this year :( I look forward to that trip every year.
