Last Friday I got to join a big group of local bloggers for the first annual Summer Social Retreat hosted by the lovely April of Sweet Life in the Valley, which was held up at Soldier Hollow. It was a day packed full of fun.
We spent the first part of the day doing all activities offered by Rocky Mountain Outfitters: fly fishing, horseback riding, or Reins & Train. I joined the group for the train ride overtaken by outlaws…yes, Outlaws! It was fun. Your 5 year old boy would dig it… or your blog friend, either way. 
Thanks Evonne for joining me for a little self serve nacho cheese action. Nothing like self serve nacho cheese on a train ride.
SWAG… my new favorite word. Not only does it sound cool, but it means free stuff. 
So many wonderful local vendors joined in for this great event. So far I am loving my little tin of Badger Balm and I am excited to start using the M2 Skin Care Line.
Thank you Lyndsey and Melissa for being my hand models. So great to meet you both.
The best part of the day for me for sure was the time spent with all these wonderful women. I loved being able to spend time with blog friends like Marie who I just love, and making new ones like Jefra, who I found through Tara Whitney. I have admired her amazing work behind the lens, for a while now.
Thanks again April, for such a fun filled day. I loved it!
What a great time! What a great idea! I love the swag–very Hollywood.
you have some of the best bloggy connections!
