We loaded up early and headed out for doctor's appointments in Idaho Falls - normally about a 3 hour drive. It took a bit longer today because the roads weren't great. Not bad though. When we headed out, it was 20 below at our house.
We drove over Teton Pass, which was in better condition than we expected. I wish you could see all the squiggles in the snow at the top of the pass from the skiers, but the picture didn't pick them up very well. It was really pretty.
Lots of snow up there, but I've seen it be much more by this time of year in other years.
Anyway, see this delicious food? I could hardly taste it, and had a hard time swallowing due to the very sore throat. Still, it was good. I just ate my favorite part - the Chicken Parmesan and skipped the spaghetti. I never remember to tell them to not bring it. Since I was on my super-low-carb-diet, I'm not a big fan of pasta.
The allergy boy had a big plate of tomatoes, a clementine, sweet potato and beet chips, and some vienna sausages. (And later, a banana and cereal in the car).
We stopped at Toys R Us to pick up diapers I had great coupons for, and the two year old found this mask and came around the corner wearing it. I wish I could remember exactly what he said, because it was so funny, but it was something to the effect of, "I found my head."
We did our doctor visits, ran to Barnes and Noble for Starbucks drinks (it was cold there too), did a little shopping and headed home. We considered visiting the museum there, but realized it would be very late when we got home if we went. As it was, we weren't home until around 10 anyway.
We grabbed a quick bite to eat at McDonalds in Jackson Hole, and sat where the boys could watch a video about Yellowstone. When we had to leave, the five year old was worried about missing "my favorite movie" - ha - which he had never seen before. I didn't think to take a picture of the dinner until the allergic 2 year old had scarfed all his good food. He had a feast - I ran into Albertsons which is right near McDonalds - and grabbed him red and green grapes, blackberries, fresh mushrooms, and Spam. I hate giving him canned meats so often, but they are a couple of the only things he can have, and they travel well.
Also today we visited briefly with our 23 year old son who is stationed overseas with the Air Force. He was pretty excited. He's been doing college classes online and just received an invitation to join the Golden Key Honors Society for the college he's attending online. He received the honor for being in the top 15% of his class. He has a 3.96 GPA. Woohoo! Very excited for him!! Good Job!
