Our weekend adventures

Our next door neighbors, the Josephson's, invited us up to a cabin in WY this last weekend. We had quite a few adventures over three days!

We left on Friday and went up to Bear Lake to play for a few hours. The kids LOVE it up there. We met Mitch and Kendall and hung out for a while before going to the cabin in Afton, WY.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist including a picture of the cutest bare bum and tan lines on the planet:

When we got to the cabin it was dark out and the generator wasn't working right so the power kept going off and on. But no biggie, because we just went to bed.

The next morning I got up and went running and when I came back everyone was outside because the carbon monoxide detector was going off. Mitch and Brandon couldn't get a hold of the owner of the house to see if this was a common glitch or something, so we hurried and left for Jackson Hole about three hours before we planned on leaving.

We were about to drive off when I looked at the tire on Mitch and Kendall's car and it was completely flat to the rim. The boys changed the tire and we were on our way.

Jackson Hole was fun but kind of boring with little kids if you don't have anything big planned. We took a stage coach ride, had ice cream, threw rocks into Snake River and just hung out until the shoot out at 6pm.







The biggies loved the shoot out but baby didn't love it so much. In the beginning she kept saying, "BOOM! I like it!" after each gun shot but when they started to come more often she got a little scared.


This guy reminded me of Owen Wilson:




After Jackson, we went back to the cabin and hung out and chatted until bed time. At 11:30pm when we were all asleep, the carbon monoxide detector went off again. I was not able to sleep because I kept thinking Aubrey was going to die or something because we were in the room right next to the utility room. The boys did something to it and I finally fell back asleep only for it to go off again at 1:30am. We ended up moving the detector into our room because if the levels weren't going up in our room we wouldn't die. That made me feel better.

In the morning Brandon and Mitch went mountain biking but came back after 20 minutes because Mitch's derailer fell off his bike. Oops. Can't ride without that.

Then we decided the trip was doomed and we needed to be on our way, so we cleaned and packed up and left.
This is the awesome cabin we stayed at:



We had an awesome time and had a lot of fun adventures! Thanks Josephson's for having us along!
