October Trip to Swan Valley

Cruz out enjoying a fall morning!
Friday morning right after breakfast I looked down the Snake River and I saw that momma and baby moose crossing the river. We could see them pretty good.
This beautiful eagle hung around our the cabin all weekend long.


Shawn, Cruz, Alegra, Grammy, and I drove up to Swan Valley late Thursday night. We had a wonderful time. The weather was gorgeous, the leaves were amazing, and we saw lots of wildlife. On Friday, Shawn and I rode our bikes over to Victor, Idaho. My mom picked me up at the Victor Emporium and Shawn continued on up and over Jackson Pass. We picked him up at the top of the pass and went down into Jackson to have lunch and do some errands. Our bike ride was awesome. I haven't been doing a lot of biking lately, so it was fun to get out on the bike and go on a ride with Shawn. The ride was so beautiful and to make it even better we rounded a corner and a huge bull moose was standing in the middle of the road. Luckily no cars were around and after he saw us he ran up the side of an embankment and back into the woods. I haven't been that close to a moose in a long time.

Enjoying the view of the Tetons on the ride down into Victor.

On Saturday we worked around the cabin, getting it ready for winter. Unfortunately Alegra was running a fever and ended up throwing up Saturday night. She had a rough night Friday and Saturday night but today she seems more like herself. Cruz had a blast playing with Casey, Copper, and Todd and a new dog dad and Cruz nicknamed "Greenbay" because he had a Greenbay Packers collar on. I am not sure whose dog he was, but he was very friendly. It is so beautiful up there right now, that even if you are working doing chores around the house and outside, it is fun.

Alegra, pre getting sick!

We are so happy Grammy could come with us.

Yummy s'more time. We had lots of sticks from cleaning up the yard, so Saturday night we had a huge bonfire and made s'mores!


Cruz fishing on the Snake River. He didn't catch any fish this time, I think he needed his mommy to help him to get the fish! :)
