Vacation Time!

Wow! What a fun weekend! D.R. was hired as a wedding coordinator for a...well, a RITZY wedding at Redfish Lake resort. For those of you who've not been there, its near Stanley, Idaho, at the foot of the pristine Sawtooth Mountain range. It is BREATHTAKING there! This is the second wedding we've been to at Redfish and it really makes for a fun vacation~for me, anyway~D.R. had to work but he does such a great job at this and he really gets jazzed doing this kind of thing, so it was fun for him, too. So this was Colt's first vacation and he was in awe! There were so many new sights, sounds, experiences, that he was thoroughly overstimulated but in seventh heaven! This kid loves excitement. The only drawback was getting him to settle down to go to bed was a ...scream...literally! Kathy was good enough to join us for the weekend and got to be 'granny nanny' and I'm so glad she came. She was a real help and also fun to hang out with since D.R. was busy most the time. So some of the things we did were kayak, play in the crystal clear lake, sit on the comfy patio chairs and listen to an outdoor concert, go to the wedding reception and dance a song or two, and sit on the beach and relax. I really had such a good time and I'm so glad Colt is a good traveler~more good trips are hopefully in our future! And I'm a huge fan of 'destination weddings', as long as my husband is the event coordinator, Colt and I get a somewhat free vacation. :)
Colt's first taste of cold mountain lake water...he wasn't real excited about it.
We're standing on the dock beneath the Sawtooth Mountains. Pretty, huh!?

We've graduated from the front pack to the backpack~what a big boy!
