Jackson, Wyoming

Today we drove from Salt Lake City to Jackson. It's about 200 miles but took around 6 hours because there wasn't a freeway the entire drive! However, it didn't matter because the view was stunning the whole way. We visited the Mormon Temple in the morning. Later we stopped and took pictures at Bear Lake right before we entered Idaho...the view the whole way was huge mountains, lots of beautiful houses with horses, vast open spaces with flowers..all green though! In Wyoming, we stopped in Afton (Home of the largest elk antler arch in the world!) for some ice cream and Mexican food. Later, we passed the Snake River and it was flowing really fast and seemed close to flooding. Once we finally arrived, we found our hotel, dropped our stuff off and we were literally out the door in about 5 minutes. Our hotel is 3 blocks from the town square so we went and shopped around there. We even found a store called "Leslie" where my mom got free stickers which is always a bonus (: After that in the middle of the square there was a shootout show with stunt people acting like the old wild west! It scared me so bad though..guns are louder than you think! We took a picture in front of the arch made of antlers and then headed back to the room to put warmer clothes on! And then of course, we went to another brewery. Mom actually picked this time! Tomorrow we have a short 2 hour drive to Yellowstone! Sleeping in while Mom and Dad go for a run.

As for the pictures...the first one, with just us kids, is in Afton and the second one with the whole family is in Jackson.
