Great Summer with the Greens

The Greens had to leave on Friday 8/10.  We've had a really great summer with them, and wanted to enjoy our last week together here.  Monday (8/6) turned out to be a cloudy, somewhat rainy, day.  We took our kids and Caden to the Victor bike park, then the library and the Emporium for shakes.  That afternoon, all 6 kids (along with Macrea Doyle) went to Local Yocals for an art workshop.  Kath and I shuttled Corb and Chad for one last Teton River fishing float, and then enjoyed a stop at the Wolf before picking up the kids.  We also picked up dinner and went to our house for another dinner and movie night together.  Caden stayed for a sleepover - he and Connor slept out in the wall tent!  Tuesday morning, they wanted to walk down to the skatepark alone.  Wanting to grant them some independence, but nervous about too big an adventure, I agreed to let them walk down alone and then to meet them there with the truck.  Maggie joined and they all played hard at the skatepark -- on scooters and "American Ninja Warrioring" as we now call it!  Tuesday afternoon, we embarked on our "LanGreen Floatilla" on the Teton.  2 canoes + 2 paddleboards + 6 kids = lots of laughs and lots of fun!  We ended the day with a stop for snowcones at Snowy, and remembered to take our "lineup" picture!  We also discovered that rootbeer snowies are not very good :-)

Will the kids ever tire of this picture?

The Emporium never gets old!

And it has such cool stuff!

Considering the menu options at Bangkok Kitchen

On Thursday, Corb took our kids and Lucie and Caden up to the Targhee pool, while Kath and Chad packed up (I had previously agreed to a "ladies float" that afternoon).  Then we all met up for dinner at Bangkok Kitchen.  Corb and I have noted more than once this summer how special it is that the Lang and Green children are growing up together and that we can all treasure these summers in Driggs together.
