We were so lucky to have Aaron, Rita, Mary Alice, and Kirsten come visit us for the Labor Day weekend. Friday night, we took them to our favorite steak house, Stockman's, in Rigby. It's a little bit of a drive, but the steaks are AMAZING! I think we all got more than our fill!!
Aaron and Rita had never been to Jackson Hole, so Saturday, we took a nice scenic drive up there and enjoyed some of the city's attractions. First, we stopped at Mountain River Pizza for some yummy lunch. Then we headed to the Snow King Ski Resort where we checked out the Alpine Slide! We had so much fun riding the ski lift up the mountain and then riding in the "sleds" down the hillside! Nathan went as fast as he could (of course), Aaron and Mary Alice and myself and Abby went about middle ground, and Rita and Kirsten.....well, let's just say they got their moneys' worth out of the ride!!!
Next, it was on to the Jackson Hole Rec. Center. They have a really neat swimming pool, including two really fun water slides! The girls were so brave that they actually went down the smaller slide by themselves - over and over and over again! They also all rode the large water slide, which was really fun! We were surprised when they swam for over two hours!!!
What trip to Jackson would be complete without a look at town square and the antler arches?! And after checking out a few more of the beautiful "western" motif buildings, we figured we'd better head home. A quick bite at the local Wendy's, and then it was a quiet ride home....all the girls basically passed out within a few minutes of being in the car!
We've never got to celebrate Aunt Rita's birthday with her before, so we had a special Sunday dinner and cake and ice cream the next day. I hope Aunt Rita was pleasantly surprised! The remainder of our visit was spent chatting and relaxing. Monday morning, the Laws had to pack up and head home. We are so glad that they came to visit -- we LOVE spending time with our family. Here's hoping for many more fun visits from our Law relatives!! (By the way, that's an open-ended invitation for ANY of our relatives/friends who would like to come visit!)
Hope you enjoy the slideshow of our weekend:
