A Red Hills Ranch Thanksgiving...

This year we had a "Better Homes and Garden" Thanksgiving. We went to visit Joe's sister and brother in law in Wyoming at the ranch they manage. It is about 45 minutes past Jackson Hole, towards Yellowstone, then down a dirt road for about 10 miles. It was absolutely breathtaking... just like in the magazines. We pulled up to the Ranch on Wednesday night around seven P.M. to a beautiful cabin covered in lights, fireplace roaring... all set in the valley below the Tetons. We went to the Ranch by way of Idaho Falls. We were able to stop and take a look at the temple, and play in the park with the ducks. That alone could have been an awesome vacation for the kids... but upon getting to Red Hills Ranch, were days more of food, fun, activities, riding the horses, games of football, four wheelers, online shopping the day after Thanksgiving since there are no close stores, and would you believe... zero snow!
It was a spectacular trip minus the fact it threw off Damon's potty training a bit... Thanks so much Brian and Jodi. I would come back in a heart-beat! In fact, if you'd let me, I would move right in... kick it in front of the fireplace!

Looks like it was such a fun and relaxing trip. I love the family picture by the wagon wheel. It is so pretty up there.

Wow that was beautiful!!! I'm jealous. :) What month is Damon's birthday in again? M is starting to potty train too but I haven't been pushing it because we are going to Utah in a week or two and I thought maybe I'd wait until we got back. You guys are so good looking by the way I love the family photos.
