This past week we went to Jackson Hole and the Tetons with Darren's whole family(minus JaNae and Spencer). We had lots of fun. This was our first 'Jacobson Family Trip' and we hope there will be more to come.
We stopped at Bear Lake for a famous raspberry shake.YUM! I don't ever remember going to Bear Lake, it was 'berry, berry beautiful'... At least that's what Breanne thought.
Well, this was our attempt at the gun show in Jackson Hole. Breanne thought it was'Too y'oud Mamma!'
The traditional Jackson Hole picture.
Breanne absolutely loves horses. Any chance she got she wanted to pet one.
The first full day we were there we went to Jenny Lake in the Tetons. It was lots of fun. We got on a ferry to cross the lake then went on a hike to hidden falls.
Why this picture you ask?... Well, this is how Breanne was 1/2 the trip. She was either good as gold or a naughty little devil! So we had to make sure to document the trip in its entirety
We went to the Bar T 5 ranch one night for a dinner and a show. We rode in a covered wagon for about 2 miles up the canyon to get to our dinner. Breanne loved it. We even saw Indians on our way up. Once again, Breanne's favorite part were the horses. Our horse's names were Daisy and Duke. She learned from the cowboys that to make a horse go you have to say 'Step up!'
The following day we went to Teton Village. We were hoping that we could take a horse ride and just have Breanne sit with Darren, but we were able to do something even better. They let us take her out by ourselves on her own horse in a pasture and lead her around for however long we wanted to.
This horsey's name is Braska (Nebraska). Breanne loved it, she was so brave. She kept telling Braska to 'step up!' I can't believe her love for horses... She follows after her Daddy's heart.
On our way back to Logan we stopped to look at the Snake River. We would have loved to take a trip down the rapids, but with a little one that would be impossible. Maybe next time we'll have a chance to.
Back in Logan, to celebrate Pioneer Day, we went to the American West Heritage Center to have a little pioneer experience. We got to pan for gold, pet goats, see horses and sheep and lots, lots more!
We went on a progressive dinner pulling hand carts. First stop was a watermelon seed spitting contest. Daddy did great.. Breanne on the other hand wanted to know what those things in her melon were. She's spoiled and usually has the seedless kind.
She loved to ride in the hand cart. There were 4 different stops.
What a strong girl! She would have made a great poineer! I, on the other hand, would not have been a good pioneer. I am grateful for my ancestors who walked across the plains so that I can enjoy my religious freedom. Yes mom.. that means Sarah Franks! What a fun Trip! Thanks again Jacobson's and Brockbank's for making it all happen!
