Whiskey Creek Ranch

Over Labor Day weekend we headed up to Whiskey Creek Ranch in Grace, Idaho. We had a great time hiking, chatting, fly-fishing, playing with animals and riding 4-wheelers.
Kelly has great form from years of fly-fishing!
This was my first time fishing, crazy I know. I had to learn a few tips from M.R. Brown but we caught a beautiful rainbow trout after a team play of him casting and me reeling it in! (We didn't get a picture of it before we had to put it back in.)


We feed the piglets slop, (mostly left-over pizza and rotten veggies but they loved it!)

Kell and her cousin Alan decided to chase the pigs in the pen. They really can squeal!

We played with the calfs.

I even got in the pen to pet them. Notice I was wearing flip-flops. I just had to watch where I stepped.

We spent the afternoon riding the 4-wheelers. Here is one of Kell trying to reply her accident with Dave K. back in junior high.


Al refused to ride without a helmet, even though Kell and I are the ones with no health insurance!
It was a long, but beautiful ride through the forest. We had a great time.



Here are a few shots of the ranch courtsey of M.R. Brown: it is harvest time!








We had a great time, and I was sad when we had to leave. Hopefully we can head up there again next summer for the giant slip-n-slide!

Clarification: I will have health insurance in December. I just changed districts and they have a 90 day waiting period!

I am surprised they made you have the waiting period. I didn't have to.... I just had to provide a letter of acceptable coverage and mine started as of Sept 1.Thank goodness since I have 4 kids that always seem to be going to the doc for something. As for your vacation... BEAUTIFUL! The pictures are awesome and it looks like you gals had a great time.

How fun! Some of those pics are amazing... Isn't it fun to get out at really play? My childhood wasn't quite like that, but we really got out and played, and it was super countryville like this :)
