One Last Week

We are officially back in school.  Summer is no more.  But we sure crammed a lot into our last week.  Summer definitely went out with a bang.  We went and played at the lake, went to Cowabunga Bay, and spent the weekend in Sun Valley, Idaho.  It was awesome.

We've never gone to Sun Valley as a family before.  It was definitely a last second trip, but so great.  We decided to just get a hotel and not worry about camping.  We wanted a super relaxing trip, and that's what we got.  We took our time on the way up and stopped at Shoshone Falls.  Very beautiful, but in the time we were there Zack got stung by a wasp and Sage fell and scraped her knee and got a big goose egg (or goose bump as she called it).  Shoshone Falls were not good to us.

Sun Valley was beautiful, although a bit smokey.  The kids spent hours swimming in the pool and having a great time.  I spent hours relaxing by the pool and having a great time.   Jake and I managed to go mountain biking, each of us by ourselves, but at least we got to go right?  We spent lots of time walking around the little shops, playing at a park, and really doing whatever we wanted to.  Saturday night Kenny Loggins did a concert at Sun Valley.  We listened to some of it for free on the grass.  Nothing like a free concert:)

It was a great weekend.  The perfect ending to the summer.  And now we're already in the thick of school (well the kids are while I eat bon bons on the couch).  More to come on that…

Zack is always so excited


Kate got her ears pierced!

Shoshone Falls before tragedy struck


Waiting for the concert to start



Right after this Sage jumped off the rock and was shocked to land in water - she didn't realize it was a water fall.  Pretty funny
