Vacation to Sun Valley, Idaho

-
This summer Dad had a conference for the College of Business in Sun Valley. Mom, Dad, Josh, and I went on the trip and Carolyn, Kip, and Lainey met us there. We had a lot of fun going to fancy meals, swimming, hiking and being with each other! It was a very long drive, but well worth it.

On our drive down to Sun Valley we stopped in a few places to enjoy nature. In one place, we could actually go and stand behind the waterfall! This is a picture of Mom, Dad, and Josh standing behind the waterfall:

This is a picture of the waterfall coming out in front of us:We stopped at Shosone Falls too. They were so beautiful! This is me, Mom, and Josh in front of the falls:

After we had lunch one day, we went on a hike with some other people from the College of Business. When we heard about the hike, they said it was going to be pretty moderate. Then, we went and we hiked up a ski slope! It was very tiring. This is Mom, Josh, and Lainey on our hike:

We stayed at the Sun Valley Resort and it was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in! It had three rooms. Josh and I shared one room, Mom and Dad had another, and Carolyn, Kip, and Lainey shared the other room. Mom and Dad's room was so nice!! It had a fireplace, dishwasher, fridge, couches, oven, microwave, 2 TVs, and so on. This is a picture of their room:

Amy's braces

On January 6th, I got braces from my orthodontist, Dr. Edwards. He said I will be wearing them for about 3 years. My teeth were very sore for the first few days, and all I could eat was stuff like yogurt, soup and other soft food. He tightens the wire on my braces every month, so I will expect to be sore for a couple days each month. This is a picture of me before I got my braces: And this is a picture of me with my braces:

 Mom and I went up to the northwest corner of our beautiful state of Wyoming.  First, we stopped overnight in Grand Teton Natl Park .   it was a very short cabin (and an original settler's one) it was a little smoky. Next we drove to Mammoth Hot Springs in the NW corner of Yellowstone NP. we had a ton of elk right in front of our cabin! Buffalo everywhere in Lamar Valley, where a few of you went as 4th graders. The bull elk comes into town....ready to fight for his mating ritual Next we went on the BearTooth Highway, which reaches nearly 11, 000 feet and usually has mountain goats. Next we headed down to Old Faithful and the Geyser basin.  it was truly amazing! one of our favorites--Sapphire pool! Some of you may remember Riverside Geyser Good Old Faithful....erupts every 90 minutes, but only lasts about 3-5 minutes a new find--Castle Geyser--it went off for 20-25 minutes! our cabin at Old Faithful Lodge Our last stop was in the Canyon and Falls area .... Overal...
