August 2011

At the end of July beginning of August we celebrated Keith's birthday! Grandma Dottie was nice enough to let us borrow her condo up at East Canyon! We ordered some yummy mini cakes from Glaus Bakery (Keith's fav) and drove up for the weekend!
That night we drove into Morgan and had dinner at the Spring Chicken Inn. Our kids have recently discovered how much they like chicken on the bone! It was delicious!


We had a great time riding bikes,


playing at the playground,


putting mini golf,


swimming, playing shuffleboard, watching movies and just chillin'! I think we need to make this va-cay a yearly tradition! What do you think Grandma?!?


(On a very sad note, we invited our Raymond cousins up for one day and poor cousin Abby fell down the stairs and broke her leg! Yikes! Hope you are feeling better soon Abby!)


Later that month our Griffiths cousins invited us on a sweet trip Uncle Griff got through work! We stayed at a ridiculously nice house at Huntsman Springs in Driggs Idaho!


It was so gorgeous.....I want to live there!
Did I mention how gorgeous it was??


Anyways there was a really fun park within walking distance,


and a beach volleyball court to play in the sand,


(Jack's not very sand savy!)


We watched movies and played with our cousins,


rode our bikes,


played basketball on the nearby courts, (look at that sunset!) And pretty much had the whole place to ourselves!


One afternoon we drove up to Grand Targhee and rode the chair lift up, up, up (I was a little nervous)


but well worth the worry because of this great view of the Grand Teton mountains!


One night we drove into Jackson to watch the shootout and go to dinner.


Our little family!


Keith actually got to be part of the show! (I didn't get any pics because Jack was freaking out about all the gun shooting!) But Keith helped rescue this little lady!


The boys got to play all the golf they wanted! (Boy was that a lot of golf!) Keith teeing off!


Keith putting!


The foursome of the day!


Hannah got to play a little with her dad and even drive the cart!


Before we left we stopped for a treat at an adorable little local ice cream shop!


We hope Uncle Griff wins it again next year and invites us along again! Maybe the ladies will have to golf a day and stick the men with the kids! :) (Right Mel?)




It was a great finale to an awesome summer! We sure packed it all in! I've got loads and loads of laundry to catch up on and some serious grocery shopping to do but school starts soon and then it will be business as usual once again! Happy Summer!

Another awesome month for the Nigbur's ... well done. What an amazing Summer you guys have had!!! Seriously though, what's up with Jack? What are you guys feeding him? ... he was literally the smallest baby I've ever held and now it looks like he could change my tire. Explain.

I am glad you had fun with us, we were happy to have you! We would love to do again next year and I agree we girls should golf. We had such a great time and are excited to see you again soon! By the way, the picture of Jack's sandy face is hilarious. What a cutie!
