Summer FUN!!

This summer is just flying by for us and we are trying to get in as much as possible before it is gone. Chad didn’t have to work Friday and neither did mom so we headed up to 5 Springs. The kids had fun playing in the creek, throwing rocks and pinecones (and whatever else they could find on the ground.) We cooked hotdogs and made s’mores around the campfire and even made the hike to the falls with the little ones. They did great; the falls were so full it was so pretty to see all the water.

LOVELL'S DAYS

Lovell's Days was a little different for us this year. We had our fourth annual strongman competition this year and since I just had a baby and Chad was saving up for the Highland Games we didn’t participate this year. We also squeezed in the Follies that night. The kids absolutely loved the show! Quinn started the show off with a bang by running out to the medium strip and dancing with the little can can girls. CJ’s favorite part was the dancing girls, when they came on to dance he started whistling. He whispered to his aunt Jodi that he was going to date one of the girls, lol. Carissa was busting out her moves from her seat with the help of grandpa’s choreography. Thursday we went over to Kim’s for a bar-b-que. Nick and Lindi came to town for the big celebration so we got to hang out with them for a while as well, so good to see them. Never long enough, but fun when we can.

Saturday we headed up to Zoo Montana in Billings to watch Chad and Tyler in the Highland games. Yes, kilts, Celtic dancers and even accordion players. We had so much fun; there were so many fun things for the kids to see! The guys did great taking 1st and 2nd over all, not bad for their first competition with very little practice with their make shift implements:) They are looking forward to more competitions.
