Last thursday Valerie and Justin invited us to go to Jackson Hole, Wyoming with them to go swimming. They say that there is the best swimming pool for little kids there and their kids just love it. So, I decided at the last minute to go. They waited for Jeremiah to get out of school and then waited for us to get something to eat, then waited for us to go back home and get our camera... so, we got a kind of late start. We finally got out of here at about 2, 2:30ish. Joel, Whitney and Ellie came also. The drive is pretty long and Wren was not completely loving it! Because of the delays that we had she was very hungry about half way there. Luckily we were stopped by road construction so I climbed into the backseat and fed her while we waited for our turn to cross the bridge.
When we finally arrived at our destination we found that the pool was closed!!!!!! They had some problems with the chemicals in the water and it was not going to be open until 4 o'clock. We went ahead and paid so that we could get right in at 4 but then they checked the pool again at 4 and said that it may be ready by 5 or 5:30. We decided to just head back home and maybe stop at Heise to swim since the kids were so excited to get in the water.
On our way back Wren was hungry AGAIN! I don't think that I am producing enough breastmilk for her because she is hungry all the time and even when she waits for three hours or more she will attach and then pull of and scream at me then reattach and start that whole process over again. I had remembered to bring some formula with me but unfortunately I forgot a bottle! We stopped at a gas station and they said that they did not have any bottles but the gas station down the road did so off we went and finally got the screamer under control! I guess that was a good lesson on being prepared! :)
We arrived at Heise to discover that their pools were closed except for their hot pools which the kids would not have enjoyed anyway so we went and ate some pizza and let the kids run some of their pent up energy off. When we were getting ready to leave the pizza place us girls went in to find the bathrooms and the owner was standing at the door holding it open for us. When we walked in, he said "Restrooms?"in this really creepy voice. It was quite funny and we were all glad that we were there together and not alone with him!!
Here are some of the pictures that I took of Wren on our way to Jackson
She looks a little worried in this one:

This is what Valerie, Justin, Joel and Whitney rode up in, a really really old suburban!! We kept calling them the Klampits! The poor old beast had so much trouble getting there with all the hills and turns that they had to take another way out to save the brakes! I'm hoping that they did not carpool in this thing to save on gas 'cause I think it only gets about 2.5/3 mpg!!!
Yeah, I just had to add this picture of Valerie because she is lookin so great here!
