Amelia wanted to hair straight for the homecoming parade so the red dye we sprayed on would show up. 25 MINUTES later, this is what it looked like:
It's adorable, but I told her we're only straightening it on special occasions! :-)
Amelia at the elk antler arches in Jackson. Glad to see those ballet lessons are paying off!
We always have to hit Yippi-I-O candy store!
This is outside a gallery just off the town square. The funnest part was watching the Asian tourists get so excited about these bronze sculptures.
As always, we head out to Mormon Row. It is getting CROWDED, let me tell you. Sadly, I think too many people are realizing what a beautiful place Teton Valley is.
After dinner, Amelia and I went back out on the town to get souvenirs and soak up the night life. Cooper stayed behind to see if he could see us on the webcams. (He did. )
Our last stop is always a fun park with a creek flowing through it. My kiddos usually jump it over and over, but it was running high this year. Cooper still felt he could make it, so he took a running leap and cleared it! Might have something to do with those size 8 feet.......:-)
We took a different way home through Hoback Junction because we've never gone that way before. It. Was. Beautiful! The trees were changing through the canyon, the river was always on our right, and Alpine, Star Valley and Palisades were gorgeous.
We stopped at Palisades Dam for a bit and stretched our legs. And we HAD to get a picture of the Dam Store. Mostly so I could use the word "dam" freely and in as many contexts as possible while we were there. :-)
It was a crazy, busy, FUN-filled weekend. Back to school and all the autumn activities.
