Santa visits Big Canoe

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Suzy and I took at work-related trip to Jackson, Wyoming last week. It was quite an adventure thanks in part to United Airlines, who ended up delaying more than one of our flights. Alas, we finally made it there and had a wonderful time.

Jackson Square. In case you were wondering, the entire area is called Jackson Hole, the town is called Jackson, Wyoming

Suzy sporting her new black cowboy boots. YEEEHAW

Our hotel, Trapper Inn. A great place to stay.

Buffalo sculpture outside our hotel

Can you find the moose? He was so cute but kept hiding in the brush

The Grand Tetons, wouldn't it be nice to have this view every day?

My fearless boss

Suzy is ready to tour Yellowstone park

He was about 7 minutes off, not bad for an old guy

View from the smaller Geysers

Yes, it was a little chilly

Before Old Faithful did his thing

Whooosh!

Bacteria in the Hot Springs, isn't it beautiful?

The Buffalo wanted to watch the geysers too!

Aunt Jessica's baby shower

Saturday, we went to Jessica's baby shower in Monroe. She got several nice things for little baby Hannah and we got to play with two cute little girls (Ashleigh and Rebecca)
I can't wait until we get to meet the newest McEver
A little over a month of baking left :)

Spring Break - Part 3- Campus Tour of Emory at Oxford

We toured Emory at Oxford. It wasn't as long of a drive as I anticipated, which is good news should Suzy decided to go there. It's a very small school though, only 800 students attend the college and there were only two dorms and a new dorm complex they were buildings. There were good aspects and well as some reservations that Suzy had. We are going to continue looking at college and applying. I'm sure Suzy will find the perfect fit.

Cooper wondering why we had to leave the informational meeting. Couldn't be because he is a very loud two year old!

Ahh the heck with it, it's more fun outdoors anyway

Spring Break - Part 2- Atlanta Zoo

The Zoo was so much fun, not to mention very crowded. Thursday turned out to be a wonderful day and I think everyone took advantage of it. In fact, I think I can be safe in saying that every 2-3 year old in the greater Atlanta area was at the Zoo. It was trying at times but we ended up having a bunch of fun.

Suzy and Cooper checking out the Flamingos
This is the baby Panda Mei-Lan. According to the Zoo lady, this is about all she does.

Suzy was interested in the animals while Cooper was interested in climbing up the rope fences to get to the animals.

This Kangaroo has it made!

Cooper practicing his sheep grooming skills

Suzy and a very docile piggy

The goats fascinated Cooper.

Someones having a bad day. Right after I took this photo, the sheep snapped at them.

The train was the highlight of Cooper's day. Suzy, on the other hand, will never have a son named Griffith due to the boy sitting directly behind them.

Panda Love!!
