Wooly Weekend

It was a weekend of fall activities and a celebration of sheep in the valley this past weekend.  The family headed over to Quigley Canyon on Saturday to watch the Sheep Dog Trails.  A national event that has border collies herding sheep according to their handlers whistle calls.  Ever seen Babe the movie?  Pretty amazing to watch a dog use such skill.

Somehow we managed to pull it together on Sunday to watch the Trailing of the Sheep parade that takes place every fall in Ketchum.  About 1,500 sheep walk down main street following Peruvian, Basque, Scottish, Polish and American Cowboy, singers, and dancers.  All honoring the wooly mascots in their own way and a long tradition of raising them in the valley.  Our little guy seemed to be fascinated with the wave of white quickly running by.

And Friday was football at Nick & Jeans.  A couple of Bronco fans showed up.
