Visit from Christian &
Kate September 23 - 25, 2016 |
|
We were very blessed by a weekend spent with
Christian & Kate. It was an honor that they would take the time
& trouble to come so far to visit us. We had some really nice
times together. Thanks to Kate for all of the best pictures on this
page. |
|
We went straight from the airport to Glacier National Park, my happy place. | We enjoyed the wait for the opening time for the dining room at Lake McDonald Lodge |

Rock skipping contest. Everything is a contest with these two! |

Another contest - this time to ascend the slippery log |
|
A treat - a big Cinnamon Black Bear strolling along the road in front of us, then right past us | Here it comes, any cars who want to use the road can just make way. |
I left the side mirror in the shot for scale |
|
Kate got this great shot of the bear walking alongside us | |
Kate took this amazing shot of the valley leading up to Logan Pass |
|
Show's over, time to move along | |
Kate's picture again, she got some wonderful shots. This is at Logan Pass where we turned around. | Misty mountains |
Very blurry shot of a moose who was too far away for my pitiful point
& shoot camera, |
|
The following day we headed over to Dan's for a visit. Here Larry
gives him advice on his fireplace hearth project |
|
Poor Dan got more help then he ever wanted with his hearth project |
|
The 3 oldest Casazza boys, working out the problems of the world | |
These guys hit it off right away. | Christian & Kate drove in style for the weekend - we loaned them Blackie! |
Rose had a beautiful dinner on Friday night. Here you see how she can set a beautiful table. |
|
Dan going through a photo album I made of pictures that came from old family slides | |
Dan, Jeb, and Eric - discussin' in the sun | Gathering for prayer so we can chow down |
A very rare thing - Lilly allowing someone |
|
Christian and Kate being entertained by Larry & Mary Beth | |
Lovely sunset at Dan & Rose's house | The girls laughing their way through the photo album. There are lots
of silly Larry pictures in there! |
The boys enjoying story time |
|
We had a lot of bear activity around our house recently, so all walks were accompanied by a rifle. Here we are, armed and enjoying the outdoors. |
