Jackson/Darby

We randomly decided to take a trip up to Jackson on one of the rare days that something wasn't already planned. It was such a good decision and we had SOOO MUCH fun! Also glad that my mom was able to get off work early that day so she could come too!

lunch at one of our favorite picnic sites!

Sylvie earned the nickname "pigpen" because of her always messy face. Literally after just washing her face, we would turn around and she was covered in dirt, cheetos, ore's, and had flies swarming around her. Well, there were no actual flies, but i don't know why they weren't.













Colter bay is a favorite! The water is a bit warmer, and it has amazing views!

^^Sylvie, or darth vador?

 ^^The cutest grizzly bear in the whole park!

I LOVE THIS PHOTO!^^ i love that you can see all the kids clothes on the ground because they decided to jump into the water even though we didn't have swimming suits, extra clothes, or sufficient towels. Stori ended up wearing dans jacket as a dress, and sylvie wore Stori's jacket as a dress haha. It was seriously so fun. The texas christensens found a gift shop and managed to find some cute change of clothes

We got a little rained out while at Momon row, so a few of us crowded in the small car to watch a show while the boys took pictures.

Another trip to square ice cream after hiking darby.

Granny with all the grandkids that hiked. Stori is such a little poser/ so are tommy and max ha.



This was super fun to hike down the mountain like this. Luckily dan took over and carried the sleeping, messy faced little girl.
Darby was fun to be with family, but we will never hike it on a saturday again. SO MANY PEOPLE! we have hiked this as a family probably 10 times, and never once  seen that many people combined. In fact, it was pretty rare to see anyone on the trail at all. I guess it's good that people are wanting to be outside hiking, but it sure made for a frustrating hike with all the kids. Still a day well spent with family.
