Sloane at the Sun Valley Lodge hanging out with the swansEvery year, in Sun Valley, they hold a Trailing of the Sheep festival. This festival marks the end of fall and celebrates the migration of sheep from the high country where they have been grazing all summer to the low country where the lambs can be taken to market and the rest wintered. The highlight of this sheep show is a big parade full of traditional sheepherders and the like and roughly 2,000 sheep right down main street in Ketchum. It's quite a sight and one not to be missed, if you've never been. It just so happened that Phil had an off-site board meeting in Sun Valley for the weekend so off we went.
Phil and I got to golf Elkhorn on one of the most beautiful fall days you can imagine and Sloane and Porter got to hang out with Aunt Ashley, Greg and his kids - Taylor, Ashton and Cameron who Sloane loves.
For the parade, Greg and Ashley came up from Hailey and Uncle Steve, Debbie and Hilary came up from Idaho Falls to witness the spectacle.
Seriously people, it's ALOT of sheep.

GREAT shots!! We will have about 1/2 this many in our backyard shortly and we LOVE to watch them come down the road to our house and move to the next field. I can't imagine how it would look in a 'town' setting.
