running into a cattle drive just outside of Gooding
swimming in the heated outdoor pool while it was freezing outside
David enjoying a Finnish-style sauna (you didn't want to see pictures of that anyway)

and me trying to get the double stroller in and out of buildings while rich people distainfully looked on
If you haven't guessed I didn't enjoy hobnobbing with the wealthy. There were a lot of unhappy looking ultra-skinny women up there. I went into a shop to get Jacob something to eat, and none of the sandwiches had mayonnaise, and the yogurts were all fat-free. I guess they know who they're catering to. Other delightful interactions with the wealthy include me smiling at a cyclist and him retorting, "Oh @#*!, here we go!", and an opportunity to listen to a group of high power executive women discuss how much they hate their employees personal lives and clothing, while munching on brie and drinking wine.
An actual comment from one of the women, "I couldn't talk to him. How could I take him seriously when he was wearing THAT. I'm seriously trying to find someone to replace him."
Just so you know, "that" was a pair of khaki shorts and a t-shirt. I have a hard time stomaching snobbery. Being together as a family was fun though, and we had a good time all things considered.
The cattle drive

Isn't it nice knowing that money can't buy happiness?
Nice cattle drive. Feels like one of those "only in Idaho" moments. I love it. Yesterday on the news they were warning traffic outside of Boise to watch out for black cows on the loose in the dark. :) Kinda funny. That'd do some damage to a car eh!
My friend was at that same conference. I actually love Sun Valley for three reasons... outdoor ice skating, the greenbelt in the summer and most of all, The Gold Mine. It's a thrift store where you can shop the leftovers of all those spoiled rotten people. Yay for thrift stores!
I am sooooo sorry that we missed the pictures of the Sauna...! Sauna is great ! !
Sounds fun anyway..got to see how the other half lives. Why, in good ol' southern CA, I think we see those things way too often. By the way, the blog looks way cute. How do you do your background?
