We were very blessed to be visited
by our friends Yen, Mavis, and Yen's parents for a week of adventure in
beautiful Montana. The weather did not cooperate well at first, but
it shaped up nicely by the end of their trip. A fun time was had by
all.
|

|
 |
 |
Shortly after they arrived, we took a walk on our
property. We didn't make it very far
before we all were too cold and wet to enjoy it, but everyone was a
trooper. |
The next morning, Mavis went with us to brother Larry's place to
help pick up the dump truck.
She is a great gate-opener, she actually enjoys doing it! |
| |
|
The next day after church, we took off for a multi-activity
afternoon. 1st stop: rock climbing!
We took them to beautiful Stillwater Canyon for some soggy climbing and
exploring.

Now it is Yen's turn, he attacked the rock!

Next stop: Sunday falls.
A very short walk to a lovely falls area. |

Mama Yen was very bold in her exploring |

 |
 |
| Buddy is always nervous near water, we really need to
teach this dog to swim! |
Mavis almost wiped out making this wet log crossing, but she
recovered her balance like a gymnast! |
| |
|
Buddy really enjoyed all the outdoor activities.

Yen & Mavis - beautiful couple and great friends to us |

Next stop: Dickey Lake. It is as turquoise as the Caribbean
when seen in the sun,
but still beautiful under a cloudy sky. |

 |
| Mama Yen & BaBa Yen (BaBa is "dad" in
Mandarin) |
These two will have fun in any situation! |

They spent a few days doing their own exploration of Canada,
Glacier Park, and the surrounding area.
On their last night, we enjoyed a family cookout at the ranch house with Dan,
Rose, and family. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Touring the ranch, Eric put Yen into the squeeze shoot and
offered to give him an ear tag. |
Mavis gets not only an ear tag, but also the D-C brand! |

| Happy parents, enjoying a close-up look at a working
cattle ranch. |
Lovely sunset at the ranch. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Mavis & Yen helped fix fence and pick rock while they were
here, authentic ranch experiences! |
Dan Sr's cattle trailer, the "Montana Cattle-Lac" -
that always cracks me up. |

|
| We finished a great evening & trip with this photo with Dan
& Rose in front of the ranch house. |
