Our trip to Sun Valley

We spent the last week visiting my parents in Sun Valley, ID. We drove over with Tom and Traci Degan along with their little guy Jesse, yes in case you are wondering we all drove over in one car. Oh and we also had Darby (our black lab). Tom and Traci have a suburban and even to our surprise the trip went really well. The kiddos did great!! Also, for the record the trip is 11 hours each way, however on the way home we were able to shave off about 20 minutes.

Alayne, Tia Darby and I had a great time visiting my parents and Jinna. I skied a few days and we also had some family adventures. We went sledding with Tia and Darby, Tia's first sledding experience and it was a good one.


We went snowshoeing with the entire Johnson and Degan families for a afternoon up at Galena Lodge and everyone had a great time. A few days later Alayne and I went up to the Sawtooth National recreational Area Headquaters to try out skate


skiing. At first it was a little awkward, but before long we were cruising right along. By the end of the trail we were able to keep up with Darby as she ran down the trail.

All in all we had a great time out there and were not ready to make the trip home. Although it is nice to be back, we sure do miss the great Sun Valley area and hope to make it back there again soon.

Here are some pictures from our trip.
