Jackson Hole!

This past weekend we were able to go on our favorite trip of the year...River Rafting in Jackson Hole! Every year Ben and I look forward to this time that we have for just us! We love our little Zoey dearly, but it is also so great to get away and just be a couple again! It brings back some old sparks that are fun to feel again!
We had a couple of our friends go down with us...this was their first time. They loved it too, and we're so glad they were able to come! I think next to BYU this is Ben's favorite thing in life. He did a great job getting us down the river. We hit everything perfect! We only had a few scary incidents...glad everyone was ok! Jake and Angi decided to ride the undertow of the river...don't think they'll be doing that again! Let's stick to riding the rapids in the raft! It was actually really scary, and I don't think I will ever forget Angi's face. Other than that...everything was awesome! We had so much fun going into Jackson at night. I love to go and look at all the cute shops, and just walk around. When we came back to camp we just sat around the campfire and talked for hours. I don't think we ever got to bed before 1! It was great to get to know everyone better, and we couldn't have asked for better company! We look forward to next year!
Oh, and can't forget to give a shout out to our friend Kent for letting us borrow his raft! We were sad you couldn't go with us this year, and look forward to going with you next year!
Enjoy the Pictures!

Ben and I went and ate my favorite pizza ever at Gunnar's! The rest of the gang had a little trouble finding the place, and weren't able to make it! (If you ever go here...get the bbq chicken pizza...it's to die for!)


Us!
Ben loves it that I make him take pictures all over the place! Got to have them for the blog don't ya know!


Simple Jake & Amy
What a great couple! You guys were so fun to go with! We are so glad you guys loved it, and look forward to going again with you next year!


Matt & Angi
Angi I'm so glad you suggested that we put this trip together! It was so much fun! You guys are great. It was good to get to know Matt better, and to see you be almost as crazy as Ben! We're already looking forward to next year!

The girls in the morning!


Getting ready for the first ride! It was FREEZING this day, but still so fun! We were glad the 2nd day warmed up a little!


Ben doing a back flip off the cliff!


One of our most favorite places to be together!


Got to get a picture infront of this! It's just a must!


Shopping is always fun in Jackson!


Only the best place in Jackson to eat! We love Merry Piglets, and we have to go there at least once every time we go.

Us Girls taking yet another picture together! Can't have too many!


Jake & Matt getting ready to jump! Oh, how sweet!

Ben, Angi, Jake, and Amy all took a ride through Kahuna without the raft. They said it was fun, but I'll stick to just taking the pictures!

Angi & Ben
Angi was pretty good at keeping Ben company on his crazy ideas! Don't think she'll try Lunch Counter again though...that was a little scary for all of us! Glad you and Jake are OK!

Awesome...that looks like such a blast!! And yes, always got to get pics, especially for the blog! That's a great tradition to have. It's been a LONG time since I've been river rafting or to Jackson Hole for that matter. Too long!
