Friends from Colorado Springs

Our good friends, John & Beth Gormley, drove up for a few days of fishing, shopping, and Jessie's baptism (they are Jessie's Godparents). It was so great to see them and our kids loved the extra attention. :)

This was the first of MANY games of Candyland - we are all ready for a break from Candyland!

One of the primary reasons for John and Beth to come a few days early was so that John and Jason could get out on the many lakes and tune up their fly fishing. They saw a lot of fish and beautiful countryside, but caught only one fish (too small to keep). I'm sure John will be anxious to try again when he comes back again.

Saturday, we went to the Great Falls Farmer's Market for a morning of face painting, porkies-on-a-stick, pony rides, and of course, fresh produce.

Jessie, not too sure about all the attention/noise in the exersaucer.
