Goin' to Jackson!

Somehow we ended up in Downtown Idaho Falls

trying on cute, little

old fashioned hats!
Aren't we so darling?

We drove over to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

We decided to find out about the float trips!

And before you know it we were
wearing wet suits & hooked into a
trip down the Snake River!
Cati & Deserae were brave & sat
in the very front! I was not so
brave and sat in the very back!
It was great getting very wet!

Here we are after the float trip in
Jackson Hole town square!
Love all the Antlers?
There is one on every corner of the square.

A closer look!

We had a delicious meal ~

And a delicious dessert!

On the way home we saw some

hay that looked like loaves of bread.
Very interesting!

Cati, our German friend, found a favorite
friend while in the states~T.J.MAXX!

And she found a beautiful
Calvin Klein dress!

Cati also found Herbie the Love Bug
just around the corner from where we live!
Imagine----in Idaho of all places!
