There was a little rain overnight which meant we awoke to a much clearer morning. The Tetons were beautifully crisp.
We went into the Jackson post office to see if our forwarded mail was in yet (it was not) and had a quick bite of lunch while in Jackson.
Erica called and we planned to meet. They were staying in a very nice place, Hotel Terra in Teton Village. We found Chad and Erica, Cameron, Harrison, Maryn and Emerson and Keith and Kathy - all on the commons. The kids were excited to see Sam - he was excited for all of the attention. Branon, Jamie and Macey were back at their condo.
The kids were ready to climb all over the Aerial Adventure Course, but some clouds drifted overhead and it started raining. Climbing will have to wait. Some ice cream helped to distract them until later.
We feel so fortunate to be able to connect with family while on the road. Nicest bunch of people you'd ever want to meet!!!
We made plans to meet later for dinner at the Bar J Chuckwagon Supper and Western Music Show. It turned out to be quite an experience! They serve between 500 and 700 people each night (in less than 20 minutes). The cowboys made the point (several times) that they work seven days a week for the entire summer.
We really enjoyed the great food and a very entertaining show! Doing it with family was icing on the cake!
Branon treated everyone to a carriage ride around the ranch while we were waiting for dinner - Thank you, Branon and Jamie!
After the ride, the kids all wanted to thank Ernie, the horse, with a pat on his side.
Chad and Keith made some new friends when Chad noticed a passerby's hat and said "Go Hawkeyes". The couple was from Iowa and during the conversation, discovered they had mutual acquaintances. What a small world!
The food was served up "chuckwagon style" and there was plenty. To my great shame, I actually went back for seconds.
After eating, the cowboys put on a great show. There were a lot of familiar cowboy tunes interspersed with some good wholesome humor, lasting until well after dark.
Great musicians, great voices and funny to boot!
