I don’t know why I even thought we would go somewhere else during our extra week. There is so much to do right here in McCall and we had so much fun. And even though Ruth had picked up some extra clients and was busy that week, she made time for us in the evenings to hike, or go out for music or dinner. I’m always sad to say bye to her but this time I told her we won’t be sad because we are coming back next year

Fifty steps into the hike up Crystal Mountain and she has a tumble. Didn’t slow her down too much.
Sometimes she needed a little coaxing and coaching from Aunt Ruth
So many pretty rocks!
Should she climb with Aunt Ruth?
Better just take in the scenery from here
But Aunt Ruth made it to the tippy top!
Waiting on bar food after the hike. Money everywhere!
What is she thinking about?
Impromptu mosaic piece at 44* North gift shop and mosaic studio
Finished product! May have found a new hobby!
Getting as close as she can to the buck. I think she could have pet it if she really wanted to.
Pony rides! We had to go back the next day!

Lots of swimming!
