We were both honored and thrilled to get a
visit from our dear friend Cassy and her sweet Serene. They had just
been on a two-week family RV honeymoon trip - congrats Cassy! They
were getting a little tired, but they were game for all the activities we
could think up for them. We had a great time with lots of
adventures. These pictures are a combination of the ones taken by
Cassy and by me. Thanks for sharing your great shots with me Cassy!

Eric had been at Stillwater Canyon rock climbing when I picked them up at
the airport,
so we went down there to check out the area. |
The hummingbird nest was full of babies! So adorable. |
| |

| Eric boosting Serene up for a better look at the hummingbird nest. |
The next day we made the trip to Glacier Park. This little guy was the
first to greet us. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Newlywed Cassy spotted this awesome love rock on the shore of Lake McDonald |
It's all heart! |
| |
|
 |

Beautiful girls and a beautiful spot |

My car looking good in such pretty surroundings, hosting Eric for a nap
while we play in the snow. |

 |
 |
| Finding snow in late July is always a treat. |
|

 |
| Snowball fight! |
Going for more ammo |

Isn't she so pretty? |

 |
| Eric is awake now, so the real snowball fights can start |

Glacier Park is full of truly amazing views

Bear Grass in the mountains |

|
 |
 |
| Even Cassy likes bear grass, she took this one. So
there! |
Serene, pointing out a family of mountain goats |
| |
|
 |
 |
| |
This little guy was always climbing, climbing, climbing. He had
so
much energy, reminding me of a certain nephew I know... |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Developing problem-solving skills |
The mountain goats are just over her shoulder in this clever shot |
| |
|
This was my first time to see a baby mountain goat, so bear with me as
I
include too many pictures. |
 |
|
This one looks like it's saying, "Keep it down out there would ya?
I'm trying to take a nap over here!" |

Aren't these clouds amazing over this beautiful scenery? |
| |
|
 |
 |
| If I remember my Geology 101, this is a glacial bowl |
...and a hanging valley |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Now it's Saturday and we're all rested up. We're off on a walk around
our property. |
But first we must wade in the irrigation ditch and look for pretty
rocks. |
| |
|
 |
Walking along the lake
|
| She was great at finding pretty rocks |

We ate a lot of berries on this walk! |
| |
|
 |
|
| Here we are on a quick trip to the Historical Village in town &
some shopping |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Next we're off on a rock climbing adventure at Stone Hill. |
Serene watches the climbing, not sure she sees the attraction. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| This was the first chance Cassy had had to rock climb in ages |
She was still great at it! |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Serene and I watched this chipmunk get into some other climbers'
stuff. It was cute. |
Serene found a pet worm at the climbing area |

|
 |
 |
| But not as much as Serene enjoyed the huckleberry pie! |
Now we're off to the Tobacco
Valley Rodeo. It rated it's own page on my site. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Serene was thrilled to meet the trick riders and get their
autograph.
|
This mouse got stuck in the window well of their room while they stayed with
us.
It was great fun for them to watch as Eric tried to catch it. We finally
had to leave
him with a ladder to figure out his own escape. |
| |
|
 |
|
| Cassy sent us this from the plane as they headed back to real
life. It was a great visit! |
