We spent Memorial Day weekend and the following week up in Jackson. It was our last chance to be there before we move to Nebraska in a couple of weeks. The trip started by hauling a trailer for Pa that he bought here in Utah. It was my first time hauling a trailer, so I was a little nervous and probably more cautious than I needed to be. Hopefully this was just my first hauling experience and not necessarily my last. I didn’t ever have to back the trailer up, so one day I will have to practice doing that. We had a bbq with my family on Saturday to celebrate the holiday. Most of my cousins of the Roberston clan were there and Christie brought my grandma and grandpa over. After we ate we did the usual tradition and visited the local grave sites of my relatives. It was a bit of a rainy day so we weren’t at each site for too long. Traci’s grandparents came into town on Monday and stayed through Thursday. I didn’t get to spend much time with them because I was working graveyards for security on three of those nights. Traci was able to spend time with them, which was nice. They went up to the park and saw the new visitor center at Moose. That was a great experience for her grandfather who worked for the Park Service throughout his life. On Tuesday, I spent half the day with the Jackson Hole SWAT Team playing one of their bad guys in scenarios. Of course it was a blast for me and I walked away with some bruises and scrapes to prove I was some sort of help. We were able to destroy a house scheduled to be torn down (the blue house in the pictures), so that helped make the experience that much more enjoyable. Traci spent a lot of the week studying for her NECLEX which she will be taking on June 17th (two days before we leave for Nebraska). She is nervous, but she will do great. On Saturday night we ate dinner and had a little celebration for Grandma T. Her birthday wasn’t for a couple of days, but it was a chance for us to see them before we left town the next day. Seeing all our granparents in one trip was a lot of fun. On our way back to Ogden, we stopped in on my grandparents to see them one more time before we leave. It was nice to spend some time with them and to see Christie (who cooked us a fantastic meal…yummy!). It was great to see everyone and spend time with our families. Besides all the rain, it was a great weekend in Jackson!
Love you all and hope to hear from you soon!
