Will's Quilt:

Ruth's Quilt:

I'm really proud, especially of Ruth's. They were both my own design.

Canoe-e-oo-ing

Ruth was SO excited to be this close to the waterfalls.

Brad was mountain-goating it like always!

Will was so enamored by the falls that he didn't even realize we were surrounded by tons of rocks he could be throwing!

Then we rented a canoe and paddled upstream on the Snake River. Will screamed the whole time and the last 10 minutes of rowing was super hard due to a really strong current...but we made it.

We pulled the boat up on some huge rocks in the middle of the river to eat our lunch.

We were eating lunch on the Pillar Falls. "Pillar" because of the rock formations:

Sun Valley Ice show

Yesterday I received free tickets to attend an ice show in Sun Valley. So, Katie and I packed up the kids and the bikes and went to have some fun!

Along the bike trail

We went to a nice restaurant where we received both praise and criticism for how our children behaved. Then we got some ice cream and wandered around the river.

When we got to the ice show Ruth stopped a blond fellow and said "HI". He seemed real impressed and said "hello" enthusiastically. As it turned out, it was this guy:

Josef Sabovcik, Olympic bronze medalist, European champion and one of the nights performers. Ruth now has a friend in the business.

We also saw Sasha Cohen, Scott Hamilton, Kim Navarro & Brent Bommentre, Dan Hollander, Craig Heath, and Elena Leonova and Andrei Khvalko.

It was great fun and the kids loved it.
