Spending the weekend in Sun Valley with Trisha & Lincoln just a little family get away.
Sleeping in with a five year old is near impossible for both parents but getting an extra hour of sleep is all thanks to a Batman DVD and poptarts!
We finally made it out of the room & took a 30 min drive to the trail head. The drive there was amazing with the fall colors starting to show. We said we would take pictures on the way back but yeah that didn't happen.
Lincoln was interesting on the hike. It was only 2.5 miles but it took forever with the throwing rocks, throwing dirt, picking up sticks, complaining that he was hungry, complaining that he was dizzy (we think he meant tired) & asking to be picked up and carried. We finally made it and almost all his above complaints where forgotten.
The lake was perfectly clear and amazing. I would highly recommend this hike to anyone who makes the trip to Sun Valley, but bring a fishing pole and leave earlier in the day.
The hike down took a fraction of the time with our dizzy (tired?) boy running a lot if the way. He may have been dizzy since he did fall 4 times & would have fallen more but he took to holding mom's hand.
Dinner that evening included pizza for the boys and sushi for mom. Awesome day!
