Sun Valley

 has been a summer tradition in my family since I can remember.

It wasn't the same without Nan and Pop and Spen, Darby's and Nortons,

 but we made do and still had a wonderful time.

You just can't beat that fresh mountain air!

The weather was perfect for all our outdoor activities,

Hike up dollar mtn
when we got to the top, we had a view
of Sun Valley, Ketchum and Elk Ridge
it was beautiful

and the kids even found some snow to play in
super fun since we missed out on it this winter

this is the closest we got to skiing this year
pile on!

we did a lot of swimming and tennis too

breakfast with the cousins in pj's
you can't beat that!

We took the kids to visit the Sun Valley barn
horses, pigs, chickens, bunnies and we
even saw a cat eat a mouse...eewww

good ole Rocky Mtn. chocolate factory
my fave...chocolate covered banana

6 girls...2 twin beds
I sent them to bed so I could party
ie...canasta w sister's interrupted by obnoxious bro in laws :)
and this is what I found when I came in
...too cute!

Ave's was the best biking buddy
we rode along the Big Wood River trail.
So pretty and so fun to sing and talk with her along the way.

Lis rode tandem with Stel, since Spen wasn't with us
she's such a gal

short stop on our way

to enjoy this beautiful place!
