Our fun river trip!

We had this trip to Swan Valley planned for months, and were getting SO excited for it, and it almost didn't happen. 4 days before we were set to leave was when Lars re-tore his achilles tendon.

Our original plan was to camp two nights, and float the South Fork of the Snake river and fish during the days. Well obviously camping was out of the question, but we decided that it would be okay to still go, but rather than camp we would stay somewhere and still float the river and fish on Saturday. We had Aunt Kelli come and watch the boys and we went with our good friends Nate and Brianne, and actually it turned out to be such a fun weekend...we stayed at the best little Bed & Breakfast and had a great time hanging out, playing cards...
 ...laughing and just really enjoying our last few days before Lars' second surgery.
We went up Friday afternoon and checked in, stayed the night, then got up and had an awesome breakfast, then put the boat in and floated down and fished all day Saturday.
It was so fun and relaxing and such a beautiful day and we all caught some fish.
We pulled over and had our lunch we packed and stopped and got out and fished a few other times. We got off the river that night and went to dinner at the same place we'd gone the first night...this place called the SaddleSore Saloon... 
Here was where we stayed...
This was just one little cabin on The Hansen Guest Ranch.
We loved everything about it and will definitely go back. After staying Saturday night, we got up and had another amazing breakfast, then packed up our stuff and headed out.
It was such a fun weekend without kids and so nice to know that they were being well taken care of and having so much fun without us! Thanks again Aunt Kelli :)

Brady and I are sitting here frothing at the mouth. Looks like so much fun and we are so jealous. Brady just walked in from watching Utah State almost beat Auburn. He's stomping around because they almost pulled off a win. We wish we could have enjoyed your fun weekend with you. Someday we are going to make it back there to Logan and we'll all have to plan a trip like that.

At first I was afraid that the other set of feet in the first picture belonged to Lars... I was concerned about the nail polish. I was so relieved when I finished reading and saw that the toes belonged to a friend, whew! : ) Hope the hubby is feeling better!
