Sun Valley

We were recently given that chance to go to Sun Valley with our friends the Dillers, and spend the weekend. It was so much fun! Ever since my camera went swimming (in the toilet) it just hasn't performed the same (hence the weird line in most of my pictures).

We rode the Gondola up to  round house, and played some cards up there. The view was breathtaking.

Me and the famous Sun at Sun Valley Village

Me and the Mr.  He didn't get to stay the whole time, so that's why he isn't in all the pictures;)

Games, games, more games. I LOVED it.

Our kids were able to join us Saturday and Sunday, but we don't have any pictures. It was a really nice little get away, and fun chance to reconnect.

Choo chooooooo

Our local Miniature train club (yes, there really is such a thing...who knew?)had an open house the other day, and the public was invited to come see their hobby at it's best.





The kids and I had just had our "Mountain adventure", and we were not all adventured out I guess, so we headed over to check out the trains. The Men that worked so hard to put this display together were all standing around the trains, and they were so excited to show the kids what they had made. It was really cute. Carter wanted to stay for about 30 minutes after Layla and I were ready to go, he was really into it.
It's always fun to learn something new.

Mountain adventure

Carter was super excited when he found these leaves. He said "I have always wanted a giant leaf that I could stand on a slip down the hills". Cartoon fantasies at their best I guess.
Layla called this her secret tree fort
brother and sister, exploring the wild.
replaying a Dora and Diego adventure
Layla said we had to sneak up on the animals, so we had to be quiet. shhhhhhh.
I love this picture. I took it as we had just started our adventure, and you could just see the excitement in their faces. So cute.
Carters mission was to find a bird
Laylas mission was to find a fish.
The day after Relay for life I was a little disappointed that my baby was still in my tummy, so I took the Chickie's on a mountain adventure. We explored every path that lead off the main path, and Carter kept yelling "This is AWESOME", and thanking me for bringing them on this adventure.
We found 4 snakes, 3 squirrels, 1 fish, and lots of birds.
Plan to self induce labor- failed.
plan to make fun memories with Carter and Layla- successful.
