The Mountains Are Calling...

Another Lowman camping adventure in the books! When the girls were talking to Randy about what we were doing during their visit, they specifically asked if we were going camping. Got them hooked!  We had a major storm system move through early evening on Friday, which apparently caused quite a bit of blowouts near Grand Jean (and presumably further towards Stanley). The river was like chocolate milk the remainder of the weekend, which really put a damper on swimming! We ended up finding a place up Eight Mile Creek Trail that worked out great - while we have been by the spot a thousand times, we have never really utilized the creek for swimming/hanging. Oddly, the creek was clear as can be - despite what the main river looked like - so we set up shop for a few hours. It turned out to be a great little spot for us!

Summer Time!

Carter has still not stepped foot into the pool, but Randy and I are sure doing a lot of evening swims. What a perfect way to wind down after work and dinner. Randy's girls are here for their summer visit - albeit a shorter visit than normal - so we have been out exploring.

Thanksgiving Break

Randy's girls flew in for Thanksgiving this year, so we had a busy week trying to make the most of their time here.  We had an early birthday celebration for Piper - she turns 18 on Dec 7th - so that everyone could get together to celebrate her.  Randy took all the girls thrifting for hours one day - what a brave soul!  They all survived and found some great treasures.  We also went to dinner and then to see Zootopia 2 down in BODO.  What a great movie!  Then the usual family dinners for Thanksgiving.  And to top it all off, Dana and the boys got a puppy!  He was definitely the star of the show - what a cutie!
