Wyoming weekend


We had another fun trip to wyoming last weekend with my family. It was a quick trip because Rosie had to get back for a missionary farewell on Sunday. Nonetheless, we had an exciting saturday. Early Saturday we rafted the Snake since I had not yet gone this year. It was a lovely float but a bit more chilly than I was expecting. No one was quite as chilly as my dad after the boat slingshotted him out in Kahuna (the larger of the rapids this time of year). For those of us that have swum a rapid before it was an entertaining spectacle to watch everyone on the boat scramble and scream and panic. My mom didn't find it nearly as entertaining and had a look of pure terror with every rapid after that. After we made it safely to Sheep Gulch we dumped the boat headed to Jackson. Rosie brought cowboy clothes so that she and I could "go western" together. It was lots of fun meandering through Jackson and equally fun going to the Bar J ranch for dinner and entertainment. After my family went home on Sunday Kev and I stuck around and had fun playing along the river, in the fields, and on the mud flats.

This is my Dad before his little "swim".




This is the horrified face my mom made just before each rapid.

The snake we found, named Hugo.

Kevin will want to kill me for posting this video, but everytime I see it I get hiccups from laughing so hard.
