Erin, Gabe, Nick & Sally made the journey up north to Idaho this past weekend. Zach and I had a blast entertaining them! A big BBQ kicked things off at MoLo which proved to be a good introduction to Idaho in the summer. Lot's of friends and family came out to welcome Erin and Gabe. Fresh local lamb, pork, watermelon, tomatoes, and home-made goodies filled the tables. Then the outdoor activites began. Over the next four days we took a chair-lift up to the top of Mt. Baldy, spent some time at our dear friends 'caban-sion' near Stanely- playing horseshoes and yes, BBQ-ing. Thanks Megan! Then we were off for our 4hr hike up into the Sawtooth Mountains to Shangri-la lake. Beautiful razor sharp mountain ridges with emerald green and blue lakes. Half the fun was getting to the trailhead where you have to take a boat ride across Red Fish Lake, named once for the millions of salmon that literally made the lake red. Nick, the dog, earned the 'billie-goat' award for trudging through a rugged hike for a 9yr old dog. Despite the horrible fire that overtook Warm Springs this past weekend we had a wonderful time biking, hiking, eating, watching the dogs swim, and catching up. We look forward to our next visit with the Weeds! Thanks to Kat for sharing her room over the long visit! And of course everyone who made my sister and brother-in-law feel so welcome!
