Idaho, Day 4

The 4th day we were in Idaho we went to Jackson Hole. We drove past the Tetons on our way there, which were beautiful. We had plans on going down the Alpine Slide, but it was WAY pricey, so we chose some other activities.

In the center of town they have these cool antler arches at every corner.
The kids thought it was cool to see how many there were.

We stopped for an ice cream which was also WAY pricey. But, we came to the conclusion that that is just the way things are in Jackson. I think for 1 scoop on a waffle cone we paid almost three bucks. At least they were yummy and they kept us cool in the blazing heat!

One of the favorite activities of the day for the kids was getting an old time photo taken. DH and I have had two of these taken on previous trips to Jackson, and the kids have always wanted to get one done. They were darling, and had a blast getting dressed up in all the old western clothes. The picture turned out darling! I love it!!

After all of our daytime fun, we headed up the road a little bit for some good, clean, family entertainment. We went to a place called the Bar J. It's a favorite of ours, and we always try to make it there when we visit. This was the first time for the kids. They serve dinner chuckwagon style, and then there is a show following dinner. They are called the Bar J Wranglers.

They are very popular and you have to call and reserve your spots to make sure you can get in. Then, even though you have reservations you have to arrive early so that you can be at a good table. Lucky for us my FIL and his wife were there and volunteered to wait in line for us. They got there at 2:00 in the afternoon, and you don't get seated until 6:30. The kids would never have made it that long in line. There waiting paid off and we got to be seated at the first table, right in front of the stage.

The food was delicious and the entertainment was wonderful. They do a lot of old country music and some cowboy poetry. One of the guys can even yodel (I have no idea if I spelled that right or not). He is amazing. They also always do a funny number with "Grandma" in it. It is absolutely hilarious. One of the guys leaves and comes back as grandma. This time they did a song called "Dear Old Granny Had a Deformed Farm". We were cracking up. It was so dang funny and I'm so glad we were able to make it there!
