Montana buds

Last week we had our friends Liz and Leon with their kids Ethan and Emi visiting on their LONG trip back to Montana from Florida. Ethan and Emi (although being 4 and 2 years older than H and B) were instantly adored by our kids once again, and the 4 of them were non-stop silly fun.



So good to see our dear friends from Missoula and hanging out with them brings back so many Montana memories......






As you can see from the above pic, Ethan showed his skills as the chicken whisperer. The second we opened the door to the fenced-in chicken run, Ethan was intent on holding one of the chickens. Determined he was, and sure enough he caught Lady Marmalade and carried her around the yard for a good five minutes or so. The other chickens gave him a run for his money and Lady Marm was the only hen that obliged.

Emi and Bryn spent a good part of their time seeing who could swing the highest and touch the leaves of our tree.

I think a road trip heading west in in our future...
