August in Sun Valley!

Once or twice a year we venture over to the other side of the mountains.  Every time we do we wonder why we don't visit more often!  It was great to get out of the 100 degree temps in Boise and get a little relief in Ketchum.  We met up with the Dunns and the Richins and we all had a great time!  We settled into Elkhorn and then went over to the Dunns for dinner and treats.  Nice work on the cake pops Meggan!  Delaney says 'talk to the cake pop'. 
Not sure where she picked up the hip thrust from..Jesse perhaps?
 Hottest day of the year in Ketchum, no one has AC so the clothes came off.
 On Saturday we headed to Penny Pond for a little fishing.
The poor Richins got stuck with car trouble so that is why they are MIA.

 Delaney really wanted nothing to do with fishing.
 Quinn however wanted to hold the fishing pole really badly.
 Jesse caught the first couple so the girls could get the hang of it.
 Quinn was all over the fish
 Hudson too, no scardy cats here.
 These guys got over fishing fast
 Meredith had fun!

 We opted for a park picnic on Sat. instead of torturing everyone, including ourselves and the kids at a local restraunt.  We played a rousing game of Duck Duck Goose.  Quinn was trying SO hard to play.  Now every time we say duck she pats her head.
 Big kids humoring Quinn...
 Shirtless because she dumped a glass of wine on her head.
 Goose!

 Short attention span
 Red Rover was a hit with the kids. 
 A little wife swap
 Adam and I were a force
 Apparently I was really into strategizing
 Quinn still playing duck duck goose
 Lovely setting!  We enjoyed the clouds and breeze.
 We stopped for ice cream on the way home.  The girls are REALLY into bugs right now.  I got them little bug catchers...
 Don't worry, it's fake.
We had a great time in Sun Valley, we can't wait to go back.  Maybe for some skiing!
