Labor Day week-end fun

The elevation at the top of Mt. Baldy. We have been riding the gondola up and have enjoyed a few of our lunches up here, truly a spectacular place to spend some time, what an incredible place we live!

Had to stop and take a picture with the tractor, it is sitting outside the Kneadery restaurant here in town..one fabulous place to eat breakfast or lunch.


The view as your going up Mt. Baldy

The scout troop had a fund raiser at the Wagon days parade this year, Austin was having so much fun.

I was able to catch them making snow cones, they sold them in addition to hot dogs, bratwurst and hamburgers.

On Monday we drove north 60 miles to Stanley and went to red fish lake where we geared up for an 11/2 hr. trail ride on horse back.



We had an opportunity to get up close to the massive wagons that were in the parade.

The rear wheels are taller than Royce..he is 6'3"

Now that is a wagon train!
It takes a 20 mule team to drag them down Main Street for the parade

Malia and I ready to ride.

Royce all ready to get on the trail too

We got to see Sasha Cohen perform at the last Ice Show of the season here, she is truly so elegant. Sorry the pictures are blurry, our camera just doesn't capture the skaters as quickly as we wish it would.

She was truly beautiful to watch.

Austin and Zachariah really enjoyed the trail ride too, and the beauty that we were able to enjoy.

The Northern side of the Sawtooth Mountain range.

There we all are with the Sawtooth's behind us and a glimpse of red fish lake. We truly live in an incredibly stunning area.

Royce and the boys giving us a thumbs up as for what kind of day we all enjoyed, and a nice hardy Yeee Haw!

Royce and the girls with the Sawtooth Mountain Range in the distance, just priceless is all that I can think of.
This is how we celebrated Sherry's birthday this year. Usually we go camping and hiking, this year we did a lot of different things, got to see some amazing things and people and sleep in the comfort of our bed at home every night. We all were really excited to see the largest non motorized parade in the country and it is right here every year in our little town of Sun Valley. I must say we are so blessed to have one another and to have the time to be able to spend together. This is by far one of my most memorable birthdays I have had, I truly enjoyed the thought and care the family put into making my day so sweet, fun and one of the best!
