There are other rooms finished but I thought I would post pics of the dining room since it is one of the main reasons we moved. The table is from my parents so I grew up with it and love the color. We were lucky enough to find a china cabinet that matches perfectly. We had so much fun putting things up and making it ours. We got to unpack all our nice china finally. It's like we were getting wedding gifts all over again :) We are still trying to decide what color to paint the dining room and are looking for seat fabrics now. You can see another of my favorite house features through the window, white rocking chairs. My sister surprised us on our first day with these perfect chairs and a table. I can't wait for it to cool down so we can enjoy sitting on the porch.

I cannot tell you how absolutely amazing the blue water is and how fun it was to enjoy a day on the lake.

Temple Square, very interesting and pretty.

Next Stop: Jackson, WY
This is one of the ski resorts that is very popular all year long. Even though I don't ski I'm sure it would be lots of fun in the snow.
There are 4 of these archways around town central.
A new adventure for us was whitewater rafting. We traveled 16 miles down the Snake River. We did a scenic float first which was great and we saw some beautiful sights. We then moved onto the exciting part, white water rafting. It was great fun but very, very COLD!
A fun treat was taking a covered wagon to a chuck wagon dinner. We met people from across the country and had great fun traveling through some more beautiful scenery.
The entertainment at the chuck wagon was lots of fun, cowboy serenade!
Grand Teton Mountains are outside Jackson on the way to Yellowstone. The mountains were beautiful and very majestic.
I'm so glad we were able to spend some time in Jackson! I encourage anyone who wants to get away for a few days to make the trip up that way. It was our favorite town to visit during our time away from home!

Back Home, FINALLY!
We had tons of fun traveling a part of the country that we hadn't seen before. Of course, leaving 2 days after moving into our house was a bit crazy but we managed. We now have hundreds of boxes to unpack so as much as I want to update on all our fun times it might take a few days. I will leave you will a pic of our family fun in Colorado.
