Sun Valley October 2011 Part 1

Todd and I headed to Sun Valley, Idaho the first weekend of October. Such a fun weekend!--full of biking, camping, hot-pots, & good food. (and a very saddle-sore bum)

The fall colors were so perfectly on, and so stunning. It was the perfect weekend to go.

A bunch of photos from September 2011

To finish off the photo journey of September, here is a marathon post...

I really love my iphone. And the Camera+ app that I use to edit the photos I take. I'd love to upgrade to the 4s, but for now I'll stick with the 3gs. A lot of the photos I take are from my phone now because it's what I end up always having with me. At least i'm still taking photos right?

Remy and I had a blast this fall cruising around in our Scout. Love that thing. Can't wait to get it back out in the Spring.

Great Harvest

Remy absolutely loves horses. We had to visit a horse almost daily. These were a few across the street from us.

We also went up with the Erickson's to see the Kokanee Salmon run up the stream from Porcupine Reservoir. Love that tradition. And how on earth did I not know about this until just a few years ago??? It's such a fun thing to go and see.

Phew~ Made it. Now on to October... I have sooooooo many photos from October. Wish me luck.

RIP Sammy

A couple of weeks ago, our trusty lab Sam passed away. She was 14. I got her when I was a junior in high school. She's been with me for so long. We will miss her! She was such a loyal dog, following me anywhere and everywhere, even criss-crossing the lawn 20 times while I pushed the lawn mower around. She climbed rocks, crossed rickety bridges with me and loved jumping up onto the trampoline. She would only swim if I swam. Even at her old arthritic age, she would come trotting out to see us whenever we pulled into the driveway, happy to see us. Love you Sam!

Here are a few photos of her in her younger years, and then a few from this past September:
