Unexpected Events

A week ago we went to Montana for the weekend to see our friends Rob and Mandy. The boys had lots of fun at their house!

On the way, we stopped at Banks Lake and slid on the ice.

Tristan and his buddy, Mandy.

Getting a fire going.

After playing outside, the boys enjoyed a nice warm cup of cocoa.

Sorry this got messed up. Rob built a new pond since we'd last been there. He stocked it with fish, which we were unable to catch. Wade really liked their new kitten, Posey. He kept wanting to hold it. She was very tolerant! On our way home from Montana we heard that Jason's grandfather passed away. So, instead of going home, we continued on to Sequim to be with the family. We spent the whole week there, trying our best to be helpful so that arrangements could be made.

Jason's cousin, Donnie, is a police officer. The boys enjoyed checking out his truck. They got to turn on the lights!

Tristan the lion.

Yum! Chocolate Cake!

It was good to be with family for the week, even though it was in undesirable circumstances. The funeral was on Saturday and the girls had made pies to serve to family and guests. When we got home, however, the 5 sister workers were all digging in! :)

I don't think Wade really enjoys drinking Lisa's matte, but he sure enjoys the novelty of the whole thing!
