Family in Montana

We had some very special days with our family - at Ft. Peck and on the farm in MT. The weather/outdoor time was refreshing, the cousin time was unforgettable for our little guys, & the catch up time with the adults was wonderful. I'm so thankful for our family - many, many miles separate all of us - but I love how we all just "pick up where we left off" the last time we were together. We have many, many memories from this trip.

Unforgettable Days...

My camera had an extended vacation in MT while the rest of us headed back to CO on Saturday. So it is wonderful to have my camera/pictures now! We are reliving these precious memories...

Benjamin overlooking Billings from the cliff....everything was so lush & green in CO,WY, & MT.
Our first stop in Lewistown was to see Grandpa/Great Grandpa Clarence. We had a special visit with him before his afternoon rest...
Trevin at his usual hangout spot(JD riding lawnmower)...with a few cousins
Rob & Russell holding the babies!
More to come...

St Louis: Day 2

Highlights included:
-Sunday morning meeting together
-eating lunch & donuts with all the relatives {the donuts were from The Donut Stop...featured in Bon Appetite not long ago...we definitely did not count calories this weekend}
-meeting long lost cousin Frank {sorry, no photos available}
-Jon & Tom's gospel mtg that evening {seeing several friends....Darcie & Rhonda}

Benjamin became fast friends with Zane (Rhonda's boy)after gospel mtg.

St. Louis: Day 1

Saturday, 6/25:

Grant's Farm {I had my heart set on going to the zoo, but this was a bit more manageble for our family this time & we all loved it....the St. Louis zoo is on our 'must do' list for future St. Louis visits.}

Des Peres Park {to soak up the sunshine & let the kids run}

Frozen Custard at Ted Drewes with the Klepzig cousins {seriously...it was worth every bite}.

goats galore!

The boys were quite fascinated with the goats at Sweet Berry Farms.
"Can we take one home, please??" Benjamin asked me.
"Hmmm...I don't think they are for sale."

Have you ever seen a goat bridge? No signs of the mr. troll!

2 goats coming down...

so berry nice...

On Friday we visited Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls...loved it!





I'm dreaming about this particular strawberry pie , strawberry jam, strawberry sauce, homemade strawberry popsicles...delish!
