Miniture Golf

A couple nights ago we took Landry Miniature Golfing. It was so much fun. I hadn't been in a long time. My golfing skills, miniature or not, are something to be desired! Jeff is a good golfer so Landry had a good teacher. She thought that was a great adventure and was really getting the hang of it. She's already planning her next game!







Pretzel Making

When I was in High School - oh so many years ago - I took Home Ec. Yes, my teacher who also happened to be my Aunt, had the patience of a Saint. Trying to teach me how to sew AND cook - YIKES! I didn't ever really catch the desire to sew but I do enjoy cooking. One of the things we loved to make were pretzels. I had forgotten all about them until a couple of weeks ago. I decided to pull out my Home Ec cookbook and let Landry try them. She thought that was great fun and so did I.

Our Getaway

We always go to Henry's Lake for opening fishing day. It always falls on the Memorial holiday weekend. However, this year it also happened to be Landry's preschool graduation. So we decided to delay our trip for a couple of weeks. We spent 3 days at the cabin and then drove through Yellowstone park and Grand Teton park and then stayed one night in Jackson Hole. We went fishing and Landry was pretty excited to use her new fishing pole. Here first 'catch' was a weed! One of the things I always look forward to when we go fishing is eating the fish. I was not a trout eating kind of gal when I first met Jeff but have changed my ways since then. Dave, my father in law, cooks the best fish! We love it! It was so much fun to spend time with Jeff and Landry and to have a few days to relax and rest.

A little bit of rest for everyone!


Old Faithful

I love the Grand Teton range. It always amazes me - I can't believe how beautiful it is.
We have to make our stop at Bubba's BBQ. This picture was taken in honor of Uncle Bubba (Marshal). Landry couldn't understand how we were going to eat at his restaurant if he was on him mission in Ohio - Hmmmm?

You have to have the standard picture in front of the antler arch in Jackson. Unfortunately so does everyone else - thus the reason those other people are in the picture too.
