Jackson Hole family trip – day 1

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.

Moose!
We stopped at a candy store and let the kids pick out a few things
We were just in time to watch the shootout they do by the town square every night
Samuel wasn’t a fan and I ended up having to walk away with him, as the gun shots scared him
Antler arches!
Traditional Kotter/Fielding meal, sandwiches wherever we can find a table to eat

Twin Falls Trip Day 1

We decided at the last second to take a trip to Twin Falls over Memorial Day weekend. We have never been to see Shoshone Falls and have only been to Twin Falls once (for a wedding), so thought it would be fun.

Stopped at Hells Half Acre to walk around and check things out. It’s only a few minutes outside of Shelley but we’ve never stopped before

Checking out the lava rock

We went to a natural history museum in Twin Falls. It was free but it actually had quite a few things to do
Checking out some fossils
Comparing footprints

Trying out the microscope

Award ceremonies

Both Lucas and McKinley received some awards at their end of year assembly. It was fun to go watch them both, as they didn’t know we were invited, so it was a surprise to them. McKinley won an award for best reader in her class and Lucas won a few awards, but the big one was the top overall reader in his school, which he got a big trophy and $25 for. It was pretty exciting for him.
