Jackson Hole






Most of our trip was spent hanging out in Jackson shopping and relaxing. Skylee really liked all of the "stuffed" wildlife that are in a lot of the stores and restaurants. Skylee's favorite animal of the trip was the Buffalo so we found her a cute, little stuffed buffalo to bring home. She was so excited.

The Tetons and Yellowstone











We spent a day and drove through Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. It was cold and rainy/snowy but it was still fun. We haven't seen the Tetons with that much snow on them in a really long time and I don't know if we've ever been to Yellowstone with snow on the ground so it was a new experience. We didn't walk around and see many geysers due to the weather but we did see Old Faithful erupt, which Skylee thought was pretty neat. It ended up being a really fun day but by the end of the day we were all really tired of being in the car.

All the Animals










We saw a lot of animals as we traveled through Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Skylee loved seeing all of the animals and would get so excited every time we saw one. Then she would do the more sign until we found another one. I think she blew kisses to almost all of them that we saw. We ended up seeing lots of Buffalo (which Skylee loved to "moo" at) and Antelope, a couple of Moose, lots of birdies (the black crows in Yellowstone are huge) and a wolf which was really cool because it's really rare to see a wolf in Yellowstone. There aren't very many of them.

More Silly Skylee...


Just another picture of Skylee being silly. She decided to put Hurley's donut toys on her ankles and walk around with them. When she added the hat, it turned into quite the look. She really likes to entertain people and make them laugh.

Sunny California






Justyn had to go to Cali for business so Skylee and I decided to tag-along and make a little vacation out of it. It was only for 2 days but we had a lot of fun in that short amount of time. We went shopping at a really cool mall (that's what Skylee and I did while Justyn worked), went to the Dave Matthews Concert, and went to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Here we are at the Huntington Beach pier the first day we were there. We also saw the Goodyear blimp, which was kind of neat.

Dave Matthews Concert






We went to the Dave Matthews concert while we were in Cali and it was a blast. Skylee had so much fun dancing, clapping, screaming, and running around on the grass. She got mad every time there was a break in the music and started doing the "more" sign until Dave started playing again. I think she entertained all the people who were sitting around us.

No Clothes, Just Shoes!





Here is Skylee being silly in our hotel room. She would not let me put her clothes on so she ran around all morning like this. If she she would have gotten her way, this is what she would have worn all day. I asked her if she wanted clothes on and she said "Nooooo"!

Aquarium of the Pacific















Here we are at the Aquarium of the Pacific. It was tons of fun! We got to see all sorts of cool fish, and I even got to touch manta rays, starfish, and "squishies".
