Sun Valley Escape

Kean stayed with his grandparents overnight

while the rest of the family headed up 

to Sun Valley.

Last year when we went to Camp Rainbow Gold's 

Family Winter Retreat-- Jaime Rivetts was assigned to

our family as our camp counselor.

She got married this weekend

and we wouldn't have missed it for the world.

 The wedding was in her parents back yard

and then we all headed into Ketchum for the reception--

food, non-stop dancing and some crazy pictures.

 In fact, if I had let them, I think Holland and Greer

would have closed down the place with their dancing.

Reese cut out early after she talked her dad into heading back to the hotel 

for a late night swim before bedtime.

Her second swim of the day-- earlier we had met

up with my good friend, Kelly and her daughter, Emily.

Emily and Kean were next door neighbors in the

Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit after they were born

for nearly two months (enough time for Kelly and I

to become fast friends).

 This morning after breakfast, we explored some of the

crazier artist installations in Sun Valley.

After visiting this three room house of sticks-

Reese asked her dad if he could help her

"just a tiny bit" to build a replica at home.

 We also took the long way home

so we could take a fun field trip to Red Fish Lake.

 A beautiful place

on a picture perfect day.

 I think we all needed this break.
