The Antler Arch in Jackson Hole

This last weekend was the Cox reunion in Jackson Hole. JD and I were in charge of planning everything this year. So if nobody had fun it was our fault. Luckily, I think everyone enjoyed themselves. We started with rafting the Snake River on Friday. When we left the condo it was rainy and you couldn't even see a glimpse of the sun. When we finally made it to the river the sun did come out and we had a great time. After the river the kids played in the pool and the boys played tennis.
We ate dinner at Bar J Chuckwagon. The dinner was fantastic, the show ran a little long for the little kids but it was entertaining.
Saturday the second group ran the river, yes my mom did go and she loved it. We went into Jackson for a couple hours. We waited for almost 40 minutes for ice cream. The town square was crazy busy. We tried to take Lexie on the Alpine Slide but right as we got there they closed it down because a big storm was coming in. Our plan was to go to Jenny Lake but that didn't happen due to the storm. We just went and played Guitar Hero and tennis back at the condo.
Last but certainly not least was the annual Cox Family Fear Factor. The first part was the rafting, if you didn't fall out of the raft you got to move on to the next round. The second round was the eating round. One group had to eat blended butter, sour cream and salsa in orange juice (this was the lucky group). The second group ate blended squid, quail eggs and salsa in orange juice. Just the smell only was enough to make you hurl. The third group ate blended squid, quail eggs and pickles in milk. We were very proud of mom for eating all of hers and Kim for eating hers even though she is prego. Ben, Brett, Brandi, Kim, Dad, Mom, Casey, Abby, Jenny and Paul (Tori's boyfriend) all moved on to the third round. The third round was double dutch. Nobody had played this since elementary school if they even played it there, needless to say it was hard for most. Paul did really good but there was no way we could give the trophy to someone outside the family. JD also did really well but he technically wasn't in the race. Ben won with three jumps (I told you it was hard, especially because it was dark outside). Ben now gets to display the trophy on his mantel, until next year when he will pass it on to the next winner.
We got up early (by early I mean we left at 6:30 AM) on Sunday to make it to my cousin Josh's farewell. I think I slept through most of sacrament but I did wake up for his talk which was really good.
I hope everyone had a fun time, can't wait until next years!
