The kids and I decided to join Grammy and her friend Susan Rampton, Susan's ex-husband Richard, Ren (10), and Reec (7). Susan is raising Reagan's 2 boys after she passed away 2.5 years ago from Cancer. Ren is a miracle in itself because he had cancer as a baby and was not expected to live.
We haven't done much with the 2 boys but the kids got along well. There were a few disagreements but they got along quite well.
We left Tuesday at 11a.m. and stopped at Maddox to eat lunch. We took our time getting to Idaho stopping at Uncle Bud's new cabin to show Susan and Richard and the boys. The boys were so excited to get to the cabin. They were excited to see Burt's dogs when we pulled up.
On Wednesday we hiked up to the first bridge at Palisades. I was impressed we were able to make it that far, the kids did great. We came home and took a bit of a rester and then we later in the afternoon we went to the dock at Blow Out on Palisades Reservior and played in the water.

Grammy, so cute!
Lexi was a trooper!
On Friday we spent the morning at the cabin and then packed lunches and went over to Jackson Hole to eat lunch in the park. We then took the kids to ride on the Alpine Slide at Snow King. Grammy and Cruz rode together and Alegra and I rode together. Both Reec and Ren were old enough to ride by themselves. Richard and Susan waited at the bottom with Lexi. Grammy was a good sport because her hip has been bothering her and it wasn't the most comfortable position to sit in the sleds. After the ride we went to the town square. The kids and I waited in the park in the center of town. Richard did a little shopping and then hung out with us. Grammy and Susan shopped for about 45 minutes in the galleries. The kids did great. Reec and Cruz played frisbee. As long as we stayed in the shade we were very pleasant! The kids got to pick out a bag of rocks and a few candies when the grandma's were done:)
The kids had a blast playing on the tramp, riding on the ATV's, playing with the dogs, fishing, etc.!
Today (Friday) we cleaned up the cabin and then drove over to Bear World. We drove through the park, then went to the petting zoo, and rode the rides they have there. We then followed the feeding cart thru the park one more time before we left so we could see the Bear's more active. We took off from Bear World today at 3 to head back to Utah. We didn't plan on going and it was kind of a spur of the moment trip for the kids and I but we had tons of fun!
