Jackson Hole

On Saturday, we decided to take a little trip to Jackson with some of our friends, the Bruderers, the Cannons, the Daws and the Montanos. We started off the day riding the gondolas to the top of the mountain and having lunch.
Riding the gondola:
Anna, Allie, and Ellie; Ogden and Amber; Amber and Ellie; Justin
After our lunch and gondola ride, we headed to the Alpine slide. The kids had so much fun and the girls got to experience a chairlift without having to go skiing.

Ellie got (or had) to ride by herself. She just loved it!

After the slide, we headed to town for some ice cream and a little shopping. Justin was in heaven when he realized they have an Eddie Bauer. Needless to say, we came home with a couple plaid shirts (shocking, I know).

The whole gang hanging out.
I think the people there were shocked to see all of our kids. They made some not so friendly comments, except for the Chinese tourists, they kept taking pictures of us. In all, we had 13 kids and two pregnant ladies.

After the shootout, Anna was dying to meet who she called "the cowgirls." I didn't want to tell her what these girls really were, so we just grabbed a picture with one of them.
We had a fun time. Thanks guys for the fun trip and thanks, Angie, for planning the whole thing!

SUch a fun time!! We have got to get up there at least once this summer. Did you pack a lunch to eat at the top of the hill? We've never ridden the gondolas.
