Our second day in Jackson. A nice but expensive town.
It was raining so we headed to the OK Coral in the hope of sunshine and friendly horses. We found both and Emma, James and Olivia saddled up and headed off for an hour of horse riding through the local area. Meantime me and Jack got a coffee and sat in the sun.....bliss.
This was James and Olivia's first time on a horse - they loved it!
Next back into Jackson and the "Jackson Maze" - a simple maze - find 4 stamps to mark your card and get out. I got out in 9 minutes, James 12 minutes and the girls (with Jack) in 17 minutes. It was fun. Later in the day James and Olivia tried again and got out in 7 minutes. Fun.
We then decided to take a chair lift up to the local mountain and walk down. This was the SLOWEST chairlift ever. It took 20 minutes to go up say 1,000 feet. At the top the views were impacted with dark clouds and rain heading our way. We started down as the rain began. Deep snow, Jack on my back, freezing winds......fun. We made it down eventually - Emma and Olivia both fell and got muddy. The boys were more sensible.
For some reason Emma booked us into 3 "Cowboy" shows on this trip. Tonight was the third. The minor variation on the theme was that we were taken to our "cook out" in a wagon - pulled by horses. Then we had the usual food + Country music. It was not too bad and the kids loved it and at one point got on the stage. On the way back they both got to drive the wagon.
Another long and full day.
No photos as I am typing this on the iPad.....
Tomorrow we drive to Salt Lake - back into warmth....forecast is for 25 degrees.

Would you like me to buy you some Country and Western music for your Ipod?
