Lucas got a free ticket to a Chukars game from the baseball league he was in, so him and I got to go one evening. We didn’t realize that any little league players at the game got to go out on the field and run the bases, so he was excited about that.
For the last day, I had to work most of the day, so missed out on the activities. But we had breakfast at Kryssi’s parents house, then we had collected rocks and those that wanted, painted those. We then went to Hells Half Acre, to hike around and hide the rocks they had painted.
Lunch was back at the Gregory’s, then just hanging out the rest of the afternoon. We had gotten babysitters for that night, so the adults could all go do an activity. We went to the gun range and then got dinner after.
For the second day, we did family pictures that morning and then everyone came over to our place for the rest of the day. We had good food, played some games, tie-dyed shirts, learned some family history things and enjoyed time together.

Kryssi and I were in charge of the Gregory reunion this year. The first day ended up being the last day we were in Jackson (which I was gone the entire week before), so it was somewhat tricky for us getting everything planned and organized.
We decided to do a trip to Mesa Falls for the first day.
Our last full day in Jackson, we went to the children’s museum they have in downtown, which we’ve been to before and the kids love. We also went to the rec center (I didn’t get pictures here, since I was swimming), which had a really nice indoor pool with some waterslides and kid play areas. The resort we stayed at had a pool but it was outside and it was too cold on this day to swim, so we let William choose what he wanted to do, since it was his birthday, and that’s what he wanted.
We decided to do the same tram ride I had done the day before. They had a family rate that wasn’t too bad of a deal, plus they had the gondola open the day we went, so we got to ride that as well. Here we are on the tram.Top of the mountain! It was pretty chilly with the windNice and windy!

It stopped a few times and we may have had a few scared kidsView from the top of the gondola rideThey had a few buildings up here with some chairs out front that the kids rested inEnjoying the sun!At the resort we stayed at, there were these little creatures that they called whistle pigs that were everywhere. The kids enjoyed trying to sneak up on them and chase them around
That night we went and saw the Bar J Wranglers. Lucas and McKinley really like the show, I ended up with William and Samuel running around outside most of the time.

To celebrate my recent 6 year anniversary at work, and with the closeness of Jackson to us, 10up offered to extend my stay and have my family come up for a few extra days, so that was exciting. Kryssi drove up with the kids Friday and we stayed through Monday morning.

Every year, 10up, the company I work for, gets everyone together for their annual summit. Last year we went to Puerto Rico and this year they chose Jackson, WY, which was really convenient for me.

It was fun because we have a member on our team that’s from Indonesia, who’s never seen snow before, and there was still snow up here, so he enjoyed that
On top of the mountain, they had this waffle restaurant, with supposedly famous waffles. I got one that had strawberries on it, and it was literally just store bought strawberry jam on a waffle. It was good but not something I’d ever get again
