Sun Valley

Sun Valley ~ What an amazing trip! Addi and I went with Mari and her son Jake (who is 4, that's them in the pic to the left) this past weekend. Mari had to go up there for work so we made a trip out of it, we stayed with her clients the first night in Hailey. The kids were refusing to go to bed so we finally gave up and stayed up with them. We ended up getting out the camera and having a fun little photo shoot of the kids. They took so many cute pictures! It was a blast, we were laughing hysterically and having so much fun. The next morning we got and drove into Ketchum/Sun Valley. We went into a little coffee shop, and it was horrible, we had people blatantly snubbing us and looking at us with disgust for having our kids and stroller with us. Mari and I were mortified, I have never had anyone be annoyed with me when I have my daughter with me! Then while we were walking back to the car after looking around the SV Lodge I noticed Addi stinked. So we walked into all the different public bathrooms at the lodge looking for a changing station, we couldn't find one anywhere (which really ticked me off, a little accommodation would be nice) so I decided I would just quickly change her on the top of the car trunk. So I go to start to change her and it is the absolute nastiest blow out you have ever seen, it was even in her socks! Mari was a true friend and gave me a hand with the dirty job! Don't ask me how I had been walking around holding her and not notice! Anyway so we get done with that and drive back to Hailey, pick up our stuff and go and check into the condo.


Mari had to go work for a few hours, so the kids and I took a much needed nap. When Mari got back we went swimming in the Lodge's heated swimming pool. It was Addison's first time swimming and she loved it! The pool is round and has this great ledge around the edge of it for you to sit on, we just hung out and enjoyed the combination of the cool air and the hot water. It was fabulous! We then went back to the condo for the night and had a delicious dinner, we put the kids to bed and Mari and I stayed up and were total girls! We did nails, drank, watched Sex and the City and talked! It was great! The next morning we had to go home so we went out to a quick breakfast and then packed up and headed home. It was snowing and cold but beautiful when we left. The trip home seemed to take forever, but we finally made it. I had so much fun but I have decided I am definitely more of a McCall kind of girl, especially now that I'm a mom.
