Jackson Hole!

 As mentioned in my previous post, Logan and I (and Lucy) went up to Jackson Hole for our third anniversary!  Although cold, windy, and rainy, we had a blast!

First of all, on the drive up, we stopped in Logan and had dinner with our good friends the Latimers!  They are moving to Olympia in a few weeks, and we wanted to see them before they moved!  Plus we got to meet their darling baby boy!  While in Logan, we also went to Charlie's and got the shake of the month. This month's flavor was Oreo!  Woohoo!  It was delicious!

Me lovin' my Oreo shake!

In Jackson, we talked to the rangers to see if there were any hikes that weren't too snowy.  Apparently, we should have brought our cross-country skis!  Jackson had record snow pack, and all the trails were completely covered in snow.  Jenny Lake was still frozen solid!  We did go on a short little hike on the packed down snow -- we lasted about 30 minutes before deciding it was too icy and cold for Lucy.  

That night we went out on the town -- we window shopped and ate dinner at Bubba's BBQ.  DELICIOUS!
 

This may be the best family self portrait ever!

 The next day it was pouring rain and cold, so we took Lucy swimming for her very first time!  She was very tolerant of the pool -- just like she is in the bath (see her bath pictures here).  I think given time, she will learn to love swimming!

We planned on driving around the Tetons since it was too cold to hike, but because of the low clouds no Tetons could be seen.  Luckily, literally across the road from this sign:

We saw:

MOOSE!  Four of them, in fact!  It was awesome! Plus, then we went and checked out the visitor center. We were especially entertained because of this:

This, my friends, is why the engineering code has such crazy snow loads! Strange things happen with snow, and you don't want your building to fall down.  Never fear, the building I designed in Jackson (across the street from the visitor center) was still standing under all the snow!  Whew!

Lucy loves hair!  She had fun touching all of the animal fur at the visitor center!

Our anniversary trip was a blast!  And it was fun having Lucy with us.  Although, next year when Lucy is18 months old, we may have to leave her at her grandparents' house.  =)
