HUFF COUSINS REUNION

My mother's maiden name was Huff and she came from a large family - 11 children.  For the past 12 years or so we have been having a cousins reunion every 2 years.  This year was the Mason cousins time to host it.  We rented the group site at Como Lake for three days.  Had a great time catching up on all that has happened since we last met.  Some of the cousins came a little early and spent some quality time exploring what our little Bitterroot Valley has to offer.  These cousins had been on a trip up to Alaska for more than a month.  They had lots of tales to tell.  It was a great reunion and all are looking forward to the next one in 2014.

All were impressed with how the turkeys and horses get along here on our place.

The fire pit got used also.

Connie took Diane and Cheryl for a nice ride up by the powerlines.

I think Diane enjoyed riding a horse again.
