My niece, Christy, came for a visit from Wisconsin with her husband, Mike, and kids, Jake and Abbey. They were on a whirlwind tour of colleges here in the wild west. Jake is going to be a junior and is starting to shop around.
The blueberry bushes are prolific this year. Bruce made us delicious blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Abbey did her best to help us out with the hundreds remaining on the bushes.
They only had one full day here, so we took them over to Farragut State Park, the WWII Museum, and the overlook of beautiful Lake Pend O'reille.
Bruce and Jake studied the lake information. I'm not sure what they were talking about. Bruce waved his arms around and pointed at things. He was probably talking about the geology of the area and how the lake was formed. Or maybe the yellow jackets were after him.
As is their vacation tradition, the boys struck a yoga pose. In this case, it was Warrior I. Fine form, boys!
So we're pulling for MSU-Missoula. It's only a couple of hours away, so Jake can come visit for a weekend here and there, bring his laundry, go shooting or boating or fishing with us (depending on the time of year), or just hang out and eat brownies. Not that I'm trying to bribe him with chocolate or anything.
Whichever college you choose, Jake, we think your future's so bright, ya gotta wear shades!!!
(And Abbey, Gonzaga University was really nice, right? It's even closer than Missoula!)
It was so fun to see all of you. Come back again sometime. I guess you will if we get both of your kids going to college out here, right? Bwwaaaaahaaahaaa!
