Memorial Weekend- Star Valley, WY

We left on Saturday after Jason got off work to head up to Star Valley.

Claire had fun in the car playing with our headrest

Her cousins were so happy to see her when we arrived at the cabins






That night we went out shooting, it was my first time.
Debra and I sporting our ear protection- those guns are loud!My first shot I got the clay pigeon!!




















































Grandma watched Claire while we were gone- she went right into the cabinets

(much easier since they were empty)



When we got back this is how we found the girls- all tucked in and ready for bed


Sunday we headed North towards Yellowstone

Lots of snow was still there
We ate lunch while waiting for the next time Old Faithful was set to go off
Claire was a little restless while waiting she just wanted to run away





Finally... Old Faithful.... amazing



We went into the lodge and Claire enjoyed eating daddy's huckleberry candy


Grandma got the little girls these fun light up toys- they kinda vibrated when turned on so Claire loved it on her cheeks


I believe this was Lewis Falls, so pretty


So much snow, it was amazing how much was still up there.


Okay so I know the moose isn't real in this picture but this is where we saw the first one just couldn't get a picture of him because he was way down the hill drinking some water


Back at the cabins there was a double rainbow


We were in the Huckleberry cabin this year and there was this cute carved bear on the wall, Claire loved looking at it so we had to get a picture with Claire and her bear


Memorial day we went over to my dads grave site, it was really raining so Claire was a little sad because we wouldn't let her down



Finally she's free, but she did fall on her bum so that was the end of that

We finished our day with all of us eating at the Cheese Factory, then headed for home

The "Testicle Festival" was on again in Woodruff, UT, but this time they got a fancy new sign!




Grandma Diane was in our car for the end of the ride home and brought bubbles with her. Jason held them up to the air vent and they would blow all over the car- she loved it.


Great trip and we have our rooms booked for next year, Can't wait!

WOW! What a FUN weekend! I can't believe how much snow there still is at Yellowstone! (I guess we could have it worse) You've got some great pictures!

Looks like you had a great trip. I love the picture of Claire eating the french fry. I wonder what kind of people go to the "Testicle Festival" each year?

Sounds like you had a blast (no pun intended with the ol' faithful) hee hee. Ok, so that picture of Clair with the bear is so stinkin' cute! Love her expressions. BTW, those cabins looks so charming! :) What are they called?
