A Springtime Visit to Montana

 

We arrived in Montana on Adam's 8th birthday and enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate his special day with him. First up on the agenda was baking the birthday donuts, but we ate his special dinner request of Spaghetti Carbonara before actually eating the donuts.

A little while ago, Adam learned how to carve soap. For his birthday he received his own pocketknife. He was excited to show us how it works!

These kids have lots of opportunities to showcase their creativity. Here's Josh's magnatile tower, along with the special vehicle he built to knock it down.

You can read all about Adam's special baptism day on another post, but here are some more pictures of our time at the pond.

Sunday was a normal church day, which included preparation for future choir practices, church emails, and even a nap for Bishop Brad between meetings. The rest of us visited while playing games. In addition, Brooke made some delicious Chocolate Strawberry Cookies to augment a dinner of leftovers. It was a trial run for a Mutual activity later; the girls in her class will be receiving a yummy treat!

We love spending time with our grandchildren. So many laughs and fun memories! I'm sure some of them will end up in their yearly photo books. Oh, and Monday's activities deserve their own post.
