Alpine Slide






Part of my trip to Idaho this summer was spent in Jackson Hole (yes, I am still blogging about the summer and will probably be blogging about it until next summer). I LOVE Jackson Hole. I never realized how close it was to my parent's house. We started driving and then we were there. Literally. I thought we needed to pack snacks, make sure we had enough movies, take bathroom breaks -- but no, it was a quick, beautiful, three hour drive. I drove with Stephanie which was a lot of fun and my parents had ALL four boys with them. Did I mention it was a great drive? The first thing we did when we got there was eat our sandwiches (see previous salad entry) and then hit the Alpine Slide. I first went on the Alpine Slide when I was 10 or 11 and was at 4-H camp....I will say it might not be as fun as an adult but my kids loved it. We don't have mountains in Oklahoma so just going up the ski lift and looking back at the Tetons was a great thrill for me and the kids -- then coming down the slide was fun as well. I just needed on slide down to get my thrills though and let the kids go down 4 times or so. It was a great time and I can't wait to get back there. Enjoy the pictures -- I think there are one of each of my boys (except Jeffrey who is scared of heights) and Hunter (see previous post) and Stephanie with her other son Carter.

Looks like so much fun. Did you use the ski lift or did you hike? I am making my family to go there for our next vacation.

Where is the picture of Andrew tormenting the slow-moving teenage girl? What about the picture of your mom going down the slide?

How fun! Spencer and I went on the Alpine Slide at Park City on our honeymoon. They're exciting, but I'm sure they're waaay cooler when your still a kid (and, in my case, not petrified of heights...).
