We spent last weekend in Sun Valley for a fabulous time with Blake's siblings. The original planning of this trip was centered around a run called The Sawtooth Relay. We had a team of 6 members pulled together and we were supposed to each cover two 5 mile legs to total 60 miles collectively. Over the last few weeks we have lost and replaced various members of our team due to injury and during the final week we just weren't able to pull a team back together. We had the condo reserved, so we thought what the heck, let's go and make a weekend of it. It turned out to be a FABULOUS weekend!!!
Our cottage for the weekend! We had reserved a four bedroom condo for the weekend. It ended up being an off weekend, which we were unaware of, and they upgraded us to the "guest cottage." It rents out for $1900 a night, and we paid $400 a night for our three families
Allie off exploring our cottage for the weekend
We got hooked up....we were pleasantly surprised by our accommodations. We ended up being right next to the big lodge, we were across from the giant hot tub pool, we had a nice patio with a BBQ, and a nice open field for our backyard which the kids enjoyed running around on
We ended up having an extra room, so the cousins were able to have a sleep over. I found them awake early Saturday morning after a late night of going to bed, and they were quietly coloring away
Each room had two little closets in it, so the cousins made forts in their room
The girls had one of their own NO BOYS ALLOWED club-houses
Over our 48 hours in Sun Valley, we made 3 trips to the swimming pool. We were the only ones in the pool the entire weekend. We never saw another body in there and we enjoyed every minute of it
We also enjoyed two bike rides on Saturday

The whole clan at the the end of a ride
After one of our rides we walked around the shops by the lodge and let the kids play in the playhouse for awhile
Cute Seth got to be adored by everyone. After our weekend trip, Allie has "changed her mind" regarding what she wants the sex of the baby to be. She tells everyone she would now like a baby brother. She decided after playing with Seth all weekend that boys are a lot of fun
Jane and Allie. Allie just adores her cousin Jane and we are so glad that Jane is such a great friend to Allie

Our second bike ride we rode into Sun Valley to get an ice cream cone
and visit with the horses
After we got back the kids enjoyed burning off some energy and played games out on our grassy field while we waited for our delicious pizza dinner to be cooked
In the evening we took a drive up one of the canyons. We ended up seeing a deer, antelope, a mama moose and her baby
We were also able to find some snow
We had such a fun, fast weekend. We packed a lot in and had a great time. We hope we can make it back next summer for another great time.
