Star Valley Wyoming

This last weekend we took G.K. on his first road trip. We went to Star Valley. Patrick's brother lives there and we have missed out on a lot of activities their family does, so we went up for homecoming weekend. C'aira and Kortni performed at half time during the High School football game. Patrick said it was a really good game, I know they won. C'aira and Kortni were awesome! Thet are really good performers.  We got there just in the nick of time. About 30 seconds before half time. It was a close call. That would have been pretty crappy to miss them.

Friday:

Kortni is the second from the right and C'aira is the eighth from the right.

Bradon was playing on this wooden wheel.

Kortni and C'aira after their performance. Aren't they beautiful!

Here is Adam, Benton, and Lyndsey. Oh Jason is sitting next to Adam.

This was our adorable little cabin we stayed in. We didn't want to keep everyone up if G.K. had a rough night. They had the best breakfast. I am a sucker for a continental breakfast but een Patrick said it was good.

Saturday:

Quenton is playing his first year in football.

He does a really good job and likes to sac the quarterbacks.

He and I like #88 (Dale Jarrett!)

G.K. really like to watch football, but he is use to watching it on t.v. 

He really calms down and it looks like he is watching it.

But here he'd rather steal Jenn's attention.

After the football game the boys were wanting to play some basketball.

Here's Jenn, Benton, and Lyndsey watching.

After the sports the boys went fishing and almost graciously took Bradon and Dyllan. 

They get a long really good for a little while then not so good for a little while. Typical 6 year olds.

Us girls went shopping. Jenn stayed home to help C'aira get ready for the big dance.

I love Jackson Hole. A lot of it is overpriced but it is so much fun to see all the shops.

I almost bought Patrick a fur jock strap but decided not to.

Benton, Lyndsey, Vickie, G.K., Heidi, and Kortni I don't know why it is blurry..

Kornti with her hunk of a man! He's the long lost "Link" from the Lowder's! 

You'll have to ask Patrick about this one.

When we got back from shopping we missed C'aira and her boyfriend Darin (who is a great guy!). They had already gone to Grover for dinner, we really wanted to see them so Darin was kind enough to give us permission to crash their dinner (either that or the dance). I think C'aira is really happy that they live in Star Valley, away from her crazy family.

Sunday:

On Sunday we went for a walk up to the bubbler, the rest of the girls had already gone up, but they said they'd go again so the rest of us could check it out.

You can just walk there from Jason's house. 

Jason actually broke this stroller after, well the wheel came off.

Heidi and Patrick. This was the part by the golf course. 

I'm shocked Patrick would stop, he's deathly afraid of golf balls. Oh and snow!

Dylland, C'aira, Jason, and Bradon. They were checking out some animal prints by the Bubbler.

We hiked just a little further and Vickie noticed a bunch of Choke cherry trees. So we gathered a couple of gallons of choke cherries for her to make some jam. 

I wouldn't eat any (that's a long drive when you're not feeling well), 

but everyone said they were nasty!

I'm sure Vickie can make some good jam though.

Sorry this one is crooked. I just love the fall leaves, even though I don't want it to be fall.

We took a breather.

I made Patrick and G.K. pose for this pic. I just love those leaves and those boys!

C'aira and Kortni posing for me in front of the stream and an old water mill.

Thanks Jason, Jenn, C'aira & Darin, Kortni, Quenton, Bradon, and Callie (the dog)!

We had an awesome weekend. G.K. loved his first adventure out of Utah!

I'm sure we'll be back soon.
