Day 3 - Jackson Hole

On Sunday we headed into Jackson Hole - we couldn't check into the hotel for 4 hours so we walked around the down town shops - Max picked out a toy gun and Grace picked out a toy stuffed moose that she named Lucy. We had to get a picture by the antler arch and then had a 100% organic lunch. The kids ran and played around this tree, we were just burning time so we let them run for a while. We ran to the store where I bought sunscreen, I didn't want another hot day without it - cause I'm safe like that.

Out organic lunch consisted of ice cream - it's healthy right?

Then we rode the tram in Jackson up to the top of the mountain. It was an overcast day (I thought the next day was going to be sunny, no, I didn't check the weather). It sprinkled on us a little but it was nice up at the top. We had our pictures taken and had hot waffles- which were very yummy!


Actually we stood in line ordered our waffles and handed the guy our debit card, he said the register was broken and that he was suppose to be announcing that they were only able to take cash - he forgot so he gave us our 3 waffles for free, I love free!

We didn't see any animals on the way up or down, but we saw a pretty little stream-and some mountains still covered in snow. The guy operating the tram said skiers ski jump off the top right and picture ledge - he said there is usually a couple hundred inches of snow, but I still think I would have a heart attack.






Max didn't have to use the restroom in the bottom picture, I'm just not sure what he's doing either.


After we were done we went back to our hotel and swam in the outdoor pool where it started to rain, it was so cold! We then went to dinner at Bubba's. The wait wasn't too bad getting a seat but they were very understaffed and our waitress was stressed, she had two tables giving her problems and it took forever for her to take our order. Max was starving and on the brink of tears- we ordered them mac n cheese but when it came it was cold, and I'm not saying a little warm- it was COLD. When the waitress came back I told her and she took them back to the kitchen, and poor Max just couldn't handle it any longer. He started to cry, and cry and it was so sad.


He scarfed it down when it came back and then put his head down on his chair, but up in the air and fell asleep. It was the cutest sight ever and I didn't have my camera. It was so cute that totally random people came up and asked to take a picture of him. Luckily he moved easily and stayed asleep for the rest of the night. Our hotel wasa bit iffy - but breakfast the next morning just plain sucked.


I remember eating at Teton steakhouse with my family every time we would go to Jackson - but the buffet was really expensive, the food was gross and almost everything now is an additional add on. My kids dropped some french toast on the floor and we saw the host guy pick it up and put it back in the buffett bar - no I'm not kidding. We'll never go there again!
