Last of Jackson

Here's the last montage from our summer in Jackson. We had some strange weather in those last few weeks (in the first storm, our hamburgers got stranded out on the grill), we took the kids for a picnic and roasted marshmallows, we also had my mom come for a visit. We ate at a little restaurant near the entrance to Teton Nat'l park, visited the visitor's center, and enjoyed some cool weather beneath the Tetons. It was beautiful. The next week was Richard's last week of work, and then we packed up and moved to Boise. We stopped by Craters of the Moon Nat'l park since it just happened to be Free National Parks Day on our way, and got to take a little hike out among the old lava flows. It was really cool. I wish we could have seen more of it, but we were on a tight schedule. Now we've been here for a week, and I wish I could say we had all our boxes unpacked and put away, but I'm afraid I can't. I took off for the last few days, leaving Richard with the kids, and spent the weekend with Richard's sisters and mother for a girl's weekend retreat. It was wonderful! It was the perfect end to a lovely summer.

Richard starts school again tomorrow, and we're off...
