Since we were driving all over creation on our 16-day reunion oddysey, it seemed entirely reasonable that we should tack on an extra 90 minutes to our return journey to stop overnight in Kalispell, Montana to check in with the cousins who couldn't make it to the Island Park shindig. The visit was brief, but we still had a grand time hitting Five Guys and chilling out at the park Saturday night. Connor was great about playing soccer to the level of the little boys. Scott would follow him anywhere.
I don't know if I should use the word "daring", but Scott has certainly grown more daring as a result of this trip: riding a wave runner, riding a horse, rock climbing, riding a zipline and tubing behind a boat. After all that, the little zipline at the playground that might have worried him before was nothing.
We found a basketball and we tried to see how many consecutive dribbles Scott could do. The results varied greatly, ranging from 2 all the way to 42. Shooting was quite difficult, as he had to sit on my head to try a shot and we only managed to score once.
The next day we had to leave for home just a little while after church, but we still got a chance to BBQ together and just chill out for a while inside to beat the heat. Since they moved to Kalispell it's been great to be able to visit cousins so much and the kids can't wait to go back.
I posed for a quick picture with my brother C before we left. Can you tell us apart?
And that is the end of our big trip. After 16 days of sleeping in various rooms, usually with both your kids crammed in the corners, it is nice to be back in your own house and your own bed. However, this was one of the best vacations we have ever had, and I'm already turning my thoughts to next year.
