Teton County Fair



Shawn, Cruz, Grandma Raddon, and I went up to Swan Valley for the weekend. It was nice to get away! Friday ended up being kind of wet and rainy and Shawn decided to ride his road bike up and over Pine Creek Pass and continue on up Jackson Pass. We picked him up at the top of Jackson Pass. I was pretty impressed with my husband. It was cool and rainy and darn STEEP but he made it and in good time....watch out Tour De France!!! We spent some time in Jackson Hole afterwards and even went to the Teton County Fair. Cruz liked checking out all the pigs, cows, goat, rabbits, etc. The kid has no fear though, he was running straight for a cow and luckily Shawn caught him before he got too close. We even hung out long enough for Cruz and Shawn to ride a car ride at the fair. Cruz loved it, he was giggling the entire time.




On Saturday my mom talked at the annual Swan Valley Old Timers Club. It was a bunch of elderly people that all grew up in the valley. I love that kind of stuff...such heritage. My mom and Unlce Bud talked about how and when their dad purchased Conant Valley which is in Swan Valley. I learned more about my grandpa and the valley. That afternoon we took the boat out. Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating, but the rain held out long enough for Cruz and Shawn to go out on the tube. This was Cruz's first time and the kid got in the tube before Shawn could even get in. I actually think he would have been fine without Shawn, but for my piece of mind Shawn went with him. He was laughing and waving the whole time. Granted we weren't going that fast, but when Grandma drove over some bumps Cruz thought that was the best! My little no fear boy!!
