Eating Out, the Real Way




Grammie and Grampa came up with the brilliant idea of having a cookout for dinner that night. We had all tons of hot dogs, chips, and truck for s'mores. We found a fire pit next to Jackson Lake and had a cookout. A good time was had by all. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the mosquitos were not out yet. I hate 'em! I think everyone had much more fun this way than sitting in a restaurant. Brad told everyone how the scouts enjoy roasting Starburst over a campfire for dessert. Unfortunately, the general store were out of Starbursts, but they had Skittles. I don't think it worked as well but the kids enjoyed skewering Skittles and watching them drip into the fire. I think all kids are closet pyromaniacs.

After dinner, we went down to the shore and played around for awhile. These are some of my favorite pictures.






After dinner, Susan, Wood, Laura and Ellie went back to the cabins and the rest of us went to a ranger program about mountain lions. I think that the kids have a new respect for cougars/pumas/catamounts. In the words of the ranger, "mountain lions are awesome." I think it's funny that Rachel, Emma and Hunter had planned to "go running" in the morning but after the watching the program, they changed their minds.

Those are some beautiful pictures. I can't wait for my boys to get a little older so I can introduce them to the mountains and all that goes with it.

That looks beautiful and sounds like you had a great time. Your family is lucky to have something you all enjoy.

"Go running"? Millers don't go running. Well, I guess Dan does, but he shouldn't.
