24th of July vacation

7.20.07 We began our 24th of July trip Friday the 2oth. First destination the Ranch in Jerome, Idaho. Matt's Home Sweet Home. We were able to see a BiG chunk of the family at the Ranch that we rarely are able to see and get to visit with. The Roos's (Mandy and Dave, Mae and Lalo) they were visiting from Guadalajara, Mexico. And the Robrtson's (Julienne and Kieth and their 4 kiddies) visiting from Germany. The Picture above has a bunch of Odds and Ends of all the Hamilton's. They are a great Bunch!
Ty came along with us; I believe it is her first vacation out of Utah!!

It was like she wasn't even there...She was really quiet but was full of energy when she was out of the car. She chased a couple of Jack rabbits and saw some real life alligators! That's a small picture but in the picture there is a 15 foot Alligator!

7.21.07 We had fun shooting clay targets with everyone. All of the Hamilton's are on it! Even the little tikes that can barely hold a gun! I felt pretty good when I shot the first clay target they threw for me. It was fun. We then were off to Banbury's, our favorite place to go and get cooled off from the heat! It is heated by hot springs and cooled by other spring coming into it.
7.22.07 Our next stop was Palisades Dam. Matt had just recently discovered this location and the fish that were in it! We have visited twice this year, I love relaxing by the river. It is a beautiful view from our tent.

We love it here.

7.23.07 When we were finished at Palisades we mozied our way to Jackson Hole where they were having a Rodeo...There were so many people there and ever hotel room was booked...so we booked it outta there and decided if we found something on the way home, we would check it out. So here comes Afton, Wyoming. We were lurred in by a really big Antique store...where we ofcourse purchased some fun buys.(Not the ones shown~>)

As we are driving through, we decided to check into a Dog friendly hotel for the night and it worked out great. Ty even got her own queen size bed.

7.24.07 Today we have been lazy getting on the road for we knew it was our last day of vacationing... We decided to stop at Bear lake and enjoy the Beautiful Blue waters. No Bites but we were kinda getting a little tired to get home and just lay in our own bed. It was a wonderful weekend and love being out in the summer weather.
