Fun in Stanley!

We were invited to go to Stanley with some friends last weekend. It was a good time and cool because we were going to the cabin that we stayed at on our honeymoon. We got to be pretty lazy which was nice. I got to shoot a b-b gun for the first time and wasn't too bad at it. I played a new game - 99 or bust. We made ice cream in a bag, watched some movies, had a camp fire in the snow, and spent time with some awesome people. After I got back I felt thankful to live in Salmon instead of Stanley since there was still 4 feet of snow on the ground!

On the drive back we saw a guy by his truck on the other side of the river trying to put a spreading fire out with a shovel. We tried to see if we could get over to him and couldn't so we stopped by some people walking in Clayton and asked if they could call someone about it. Anyway, as we were driving we saw about 5 forest service firetrucks go out and an ambulance. We will probably never know what happened, but we sure hope that guy was ok. It was strange to see a fire so out of hand at this time of year.

And pictures!



Here's the cabin


This is where we stayed - the Bully Barn on a couple of cots because Joe couldn't bear to let Ginger sleep by herself. He's such a softie! Anyway it was still nice and warm in there. Ginger had a great time playing with the boys and in the snow!



Ice cream in a bag


The camp fire area that Ken and Kristina dug out. A lot of work!

I'm so glad that they had us up there. It was good to get away for a bit even if it was still winter where we went. I had been feeling a little jealous because my parents and Katie and Adam went on a cruise to Mexico, and Abby and Nate went to Arizona that same week. We still had a great time!
