KIDS DAY!!! (Day 16-17)
Kids Day is a true Sipher Family tradition. There's "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day," but nothing that celebrates children! The first kids day began in 2001 when our family went to Spain. The kids were disappointed that they had missed 4th of July, so Mary and Joe created a day where the kids got to do what the kids wanted to do.
The Kids Day of 2005 began with a hike around Jenny Lake at the Grand Teton NP. We took a boat across the lake and hiked up to Inspiration Point. Although that did not count as part of the 24 hours where Ali, Dan, and Josh had control, it was still part of our day. The true beginning of kids day was when we arrived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The first stop was for Dan and Josh at the Hole Internet Zone, following a stop for Ali at Gap. Next on the kids' list was dinner. The family dined at the Cadillac Grill. Ali, Dan, and Josh chose to eat a Strawberry Chocolate Cheescake, Chocolate Mouse Cake (this was infact our dinner not our dessert), and Homemade Potato Chips. Then, we headed towards Hagen-Daz for Mary (this was the only thing a parent decided to do). Our RV spot had Cable TV Hookups (for the first time) which allowed the kids to catch up on some TV watching. We were so caught up in it, that Dan and Ali stayed up until 1:00 AM.
Because our 24 hours weren't up until 3:02 PM the next day (Day 17), the kids still had their way. Breakfast was a bowl of Milk Chocolate Mouse, but lunch was even more extravagant. We were like kids in a candy store as we scanned the aisles of Albertsons for the best things we could find. We didn't even have to ask if we could have something because the answer was always, "YES." Here were our meals:

All of us ended kids day with an aching stomach, but it was worth it!
