Kids’ visit: random moments

To wrap up my posts about the kids’ visit, I present a few random pictures I took during the week.

Uncle Zack shows Ollie some little puzzle toys he found in the giant bin he (Zack) keeps at our house in storage.

Although Zack and Alex brought swim trunks, they forgot to bring swim shirts. Pepper dug up a few, but they didn’t… quite… fit.

Kyra relaxes on the shore of Flathead Lake. I’m pretty sure the tube belongs in the water, but I shouldn’t judge…

A gentle rain falls on Holland Lake. As usual, we took them to that area for a nice hike on a cooler day.

Here we are at the waterfall:

On some stretch of highway, Zack and I attempted to go fast enough to enter hyperspace.

Kyra, in the back seat, wasn’t impressed.

Speaking of Kyra, one day she made lunch. It consisted of half a piece of ciabatta bread, a little bowl of baked beans, a cup of chocolate mousse, and (for whatever reason) a tiny cube of cheese. I’m not kidding… this was her lunch.

Alex brought some smoke bombs, which Ollie loves to watch. Zack had an idea.

That really made Ollie laugh.

Alex had a sore back– due, he said, to a few too many wipeouts on the tube. Pepper brought out her massage tool, and Ollie wanted a turn.

I completely forgot to take a picture of all of us in a group. Shame on me. But as Julian was leaving, I snapped a fun selfie.

That pretty much sums up our week. Good times with good folks.
