Teton National Park- Day 7

Today was filled with fun things and not so fun things. We took it easy this morning, I made a big breakfast and we just hung around camp. Tim took the girls to the river and Noah for a bike ride. Then late morning we headed out to the Moose Visitors Center. What a beautiful building! It had floor to ceiling windows with a view of the Tetons, was made of wood slats and a metal roof and inside it had tons of interactive exhibits for the kids… I am so glad we stopped there. The kids were sworn in as Jr. Rangers and got their third badge of the trip. Then it was off to Snow King Mountain for the alpine slide. It was so much fun! You take the ski lift to the top of a mountain and then there is a slide built into the mountain that you ride a sled on all the way to the bottom. The kids just loved it and so did the grownups. After that is was to the Laundromat (a not so fun part of day). After 2 hours of a bunch of blunders (I forgot the detergent at camp, the bag of quarters had a hole and $20 worth of quarters spilled all over the place, kids fighting, etc, etc…) we got the laundry done. After that it was to downtown Jackson to walk around and do a little shopping. It is a very cute town with lots of T-shirt and souvenir shops but they also had an Eddie Bauer (my favorite clothing store) and it was huge! Then it was time for dinner, we ate outside at a pizza restaurant that was very delicious. Jackson seems very dog friendly and we had a stray dog standing at our table begging for Megan's food the entire meal… that was kind of weird and a little unappetizing, he was a little mangy. We also found a Sheltie downtown that we could love on and tell them all about our Lily. Then came another not so fun thing… grocery shopping. Not so fun with a husband, 3 kids in tow, and in a strange store but we got it done. In the parking lot, Tim noticed the truck leaking radiator fluid… here comes some more not so fun things. Then it was off to the car shop that was closing and they said to come back at 7:30 tomorrow morning. But, we can't…we will be on our way to Yellowstone. We have to though so Yellowstone may be delayed after we find out what is wrong with the truck. Tim has his worried look on his face so I hope this will be done and over with quick tomorrow. That is all of our day; we will take the good with the bad and Praise the Lord through it all as we know He is in control!
