St George/Travis's Baby Blessing
Sun Valley Idaho Ice Skating Competition
 |
| The picture above of some of Aurora's ice skating friends that came to Sun Valley. |

| Aurora and her amazing coach. |
 |
| Aurora placed 3rd in her competitive event. Aurora was in tears at 5 am when I woke her up the first day of competition but manged to pull herself together by the time she had to be on the ice at 6 for practice. The girls she competed against were small and very good. I was a little nervous she wouldn't make it on the podium and was relieved when she did. Later that afternoon Aurora and I went with her coach and her family to Red Fish Lake. It was gorgeous! We rented a small boat and went out for about an hour. |
 |
| After a few hours at the lake we got a bite to eat and walked around Ketchum. There was a road ralley going on that evening so we walked around for a bit and looked at all the cars. |
 |
| The next day we went on a bike ride and spent some more time at the pool. |
 |
| Saturday night we enjoyed an amazing pro skater ice show. It was so much fun and we were in awe at all the amazing talent. Below are a couple of picture with a Aurora and a couple of the stars. |
 |
| We forgot to get a picture of Aurora's hair and makeup so we took one when we got home. We had a great 4 days and she had a blast skating. She can hardly wait to go back. Below are her performances. |
Visit with Friends
 |
| My dear childhood friend and her family passed through a few weeks ago on their way back to Nebraska. We love being able to spend with them and hope that we can get together sometime this coming Fall or Spring. We wish sometimes that we could choose our family members but even though we have no control over that, these people with always be considered family to us. |
Wheeler Creek Hike
 |
| We checked out a new hike. The kids were less than thrilled to go hiking because they wanted to stay home and play video games and watch Netflix but we went anyway. Aurora has never been a big fan of hiking but was our one kid who didn't complain once. I was very proud of her. I love to hike and wish I had a hiking buddy. |
