a visit from shell & nate

We had a rootin-and-a-tootin time with my sister Michelle, her husband Nate, and their two beautiful girls, Avery and Keira when they visited us here in Missoula last weekend. We loved every minute of it!
Link and Ike couldn't get enough of their 5-month-old baby cuz; they wanted to hold and play with her. We took a short hike of a Missoula overlook (can you find Yoda in the pic?) These two, 3 months apart in age, have a major love-hate relationship! One minute they'd be pushing each other's buttons and the next they'd be holding hands. Strolling downtown along the Clark Fork River Link was pulling the girls in this wagon around the house We took a trip together up to Glacier National Park and on the way stopped for lunch by the gorgeous Flathead Lake Isaac was sooooo sweet with Baby Keira Cute little fam Camping at Fish Creek. Though we doused ourselves with bug spray, we were eaten alive by mosquitos--mostly on our feet! Clever little critters. . . Doncha love Keira in the football hold? Avalanche Falls. Quite possibly the clearest and bluest water I've ever seen Sticky S'mores! Jed helping Aves and Link on the slushy hike up to Hidden Lake Hidden Lake hike This mama and baby mountain goat didn't fear us at all! They came straight at us. . . they must have wanted our lunch! Keira's small little head! Isn't she pretty? Playing at the Dragon Park Happy Birthday, Aves! Thanks for coming, guys!
