So I'm sitting here all alone in my own house (which is a very strange sensation). Alan is back at work. The kids are back in school. Our bags are unpacked, our house is reorganized, and I've done my morning chores. I'm even almost used to the constant sweating and fuzzy hair that comes along with the Hawaiian paradise package. In other words, after a handful of naps and a bout with boredom, we have transitioned at last. Needless to say, we miss you all!
The drive to Jackson Hole was beautiful, with highlights including 2 bear spottings (Wyatt says 3, of course) and a close encounter with a ginormous bull elk that sent our pulse racing. Upon arrival in Jackson Hole we were overcome by the outlaw spirit and simply had to get a photo (as you can see).
Bear Lake isn't nearly as pretty as Island Park, but the water is nearly as bright and blue as Hawaii and there we added to our pot of awesome family memories.
And then there was Chicago for Alan and Zach where they were welcomed like celebs. At the opening ceremony he got to run out the Soldier Field tunnel with his name in lights and his face on the big screen. It was all very exciting. The Cubs game was a classic father-son moment and Zach especially enjoyed the polar bears at the Chicago Zoo. He made a lot of friends and came home with a bronze m
edal and a bag full of free 
gifts for the whole family.We are happy to be back together as a family all safe and snug in Hawaii and we're thankful there were no broken femurs along the way.
Hope you are all well too!

P.S. Alan and I saw Batman last night. Anyone seen it? Any comments?

Thanks Deb for the entry!! I hope everyone else catched the spirit and puts memories like we do. Its fun to see what is going on with everyones life. We wish we could see you guys more we miss all the times sitting up and talking after Big Brother or a late night movie at your house. It was fun seeing you guys tell the kids hello and that the girls miss playing with them also.
I love the family picture. It's good to hear you guys had fun at Jackson and at Bear Lake. Thanks so much for the goodies from Jackson! Seriously that was the sweetest thing of you to do. Tonight Averi was holding her shirt and asked me if she could where it to bed. They love them!! We already miss you guys a ton and wish we could have spent more time with your family, but we know how much you try to pack into so little time over here so we are just glad to have been able to get you guys for that week.
Miss you guys-
Bobbi
