Zach loves to go out on the lake by himself.
For the people who can hack it...swimming to the rock across the lake is a cold endeavour. This year the water was even colder than usual, but Jason, Zach and I did our duty and swam to the rock. The one right there near the top center of the picture. Ryan chickened out even though he swam out there last time. We'll get him next time...and Aunt Mimi too!
At the beginning of the trip Owen wasn't too comfortable in the water, even with his life jacket on. He just wanted to sit on the stairs or in the baby pool at the condo. But after a couple of days he was doing cannonballs just like his brothers.
We always go on the Alpine Slide. Zach and Ryan kept telling me how fast they were going to go, but...
Owen and I caught up to Ryan pretty easily.
The boys each get to buy a souvenir on the last day of our trip. Owen didn't want the hat but he looked so cute I had to take a picture. He chose a gun instead, so did Ryan. And Zach chose a knife...life with 3 boys.
We had a great time in Jackson with all of the family. We especially loved bunking with Jason's sister Jamie and her husband Mike and their family. Some of those highlights are:
*learning how to ALWAYS win (ie. cheating) at online Boggle.
*Jamie's...can I say it...fart machine...well at least it was a highlight for her. And we had fun listening to her giggle nonstop.
*Playing Canasta until after midnight. Be assured that the girls will win next time!
Other Highlights:
*Running in the beautiful Teton mountains with my nephew Kelson.
*The fantastic downpour of rain at String Lake as we were getting ready to leave.
*The fireworks we bought in Alpine Junction.
*Spending time with the entire Howes family.
We loved being in Jackson this year, as every year, and look forward to next time.

Sweet! That looks beautiful, and so much fun!
I love family events. Chris' family lives close to us so we're usually getting together with them. Right now my brother and his family is visiting and we look forward to that visit each year. It looks like you guys had a great time. You'll have amazing memories forever! I especially enjoyed the highlights portion. What a great way to capture the stuff you don't want to forget, even if you don't have a photo of it.
Great journal entry....although you forgot to say how much fun YOU had pushing that button making those disgusting noises!
I love your pictures of Jackson hole and the boys' baseball. You guys had quite a crowd at Jackson Hole...it looks like it was really fun. Hope all is well and everyone's enjoying the new school year! Rebecca
