Porters take over Ketchum and Sun Valley, Idaho!
July 10-14, 2009
Sun Valley, Idaho
This past weekend, 65.38% of the Porters gathered in Ketchum Idaho at the Sun Valley Resort for bonding, eating, drinking, biking, hiking, swimming, Wii-ing, boating, swan-and-trout-feeding, reading, tanning, sleeping, shopping, and many other ing-ing.
Apparently, although there were 17 Porters present, the most important ones are under the age of eight. I have few photos of anyone unless they were with Julia and Ian. Sorry about that, folks!

Above: Julia focuses on the feeding. She is dressed in a coat because she was feeling yucky. At least she felt this way on the last day!
Above: Wait for it.....wait for it........
Above: Aaiiigghh! Grumpy daddy swan protecting his turf.
Above: Nanny and Julia wander past the ice skating behind the Lodge.
Above: Julia next to the famous Sun Valley logo.
