VAN AND WENDY VISIT

Connie's sister Wendy and her husband Van came up from Salt Lake and spent a few days with us.  They had not visited for a few years so it was good to have them here.  We had a great time and hope we showed them some things they had not seen before while here in the Bitterroot Valley.  Got quite a bit of work out of them also. 

Van, CJ, and Wendy up Willow Creek on our way to the Willow Mountain Lookout.

Lots of beargrass in bloom.

The dead trees are from the Dominic Point fire a few years ago.

Lunch of apples.

Zeph says throw another stick for me to chase.

The beargrass was really out this year.  Never seen so much of it in bloom.

Some fireworks on the 4th from the upper firepit.

We went to an airshow at Hamilton's airport.

Not the largest airshow, but for our little valley, it was a good one.

Connie getting a little nuzzle from one of Doug and Rita's colts.

Gary and Margee's horse DJ had a colt while Van and Wendy were here so we went over and checked it out.  It is only about an hour old here.

Another one of Doug and Rita's colts that is only a few days old.

First milk.

Dj's first baby.  I think she really likes it.

Van helped me start the patio on the south side of our place.
