| Josie & Crew Visit
Montana October 16-22, 2025 |
|
| Josie, along with some of her kids and
grandkids came up for a short visit in mid-October. Sadly, Sam's
health didn't allow him to join in on the fun. Much socializing was
done and many outings were experienced. They crammed a lot into
their few days! |
|
The trip started with dinner at Lucas & Kristi's. The next
morning was a family gathering, Here Dalton helps put away the bounce house by body-rolling the air out! |

| He was cold but the only coat he could find was his sister's pink
animal print coat. He was stylin'! |
