Know what else epitomizes summer for most people? Baseball! We got to view a game from a friends' suite, which was fun, even if the Chukars played their worst game of the season. The kids had a TV, so we got to stay for the whole game!
After the game, they let the kids run the bases. Ours did it on funnel cake fumes, but they were tuckered out because it was so late. Hadley was excited to see the stars when we got home, and we even saw a shooting star!
We took advantage of a day trip to the Tetons by revisiting the Rockefeller preserve. Unfortunately, there was a 45-minute wait for a parking spot at the visitor's center and trails, so we went up the road to Death Canyon. Sounded perfect for a family hike!
It was a hot day and a 1.7-mile one-way uphill hike, but the view of Phelps lake from the top was breath-taking. If only we were 700 feet closer to the water to stick our toes in!
We had to settle for some cool refreshments at our favorite Jackson brewery instead. It was even hot enough to warrant a stop at the square ice cream stop in Swan Valley.
It's been a hot summer, so we went with a bunch of friends to a water park 30-minutes away. A splash pad, pool, lazy river - so fun!
Hadley passed out before we left the parking lot. So to extend the car ride (and her nap), Owen and I detoured through Bear World on the way home. Even the bears thought it was a swimming day to beat the heat!
And sometimes, you just let the kids play in the water and sorta get your car washed. :)
The best part of Owen's day was driving his friends' motorized car. He's always wanted one of these things! I feel like we've deprived him in some way, but maybe that makes it more special...?
