Visiting the Latour's!

On our way down south, we stopped at Tido and Lisa Latour's house in Greeneville, TN. This past summer in August, Tido and Jax came out to visit us in Montana. Tido also helped my Dad put on our new metal roof. When we got there, they gave us a tour of their future truffle farm that Tido planted this year. They have lots of property across the road from their house. They also have two dogs (Lucky and Ukiah), two cats (Rosie and Luna) and about 50 chickens and turkeys. The boys' favorite part was the zip-line that Jax had on the property. They could swing on that forever!

We took a tour around their property.

Jax and his house.

They had a really cool round house!

Tido's tack shed:

When Mom saw it, she said "I would live in there!". :)

Tido pulled out one of their 4-wheelers.

This is Jax's 4 wheeler.

Last year, Tido planted 200 oak trees to harvest truffles that take about 7 years to grow. We took a tour of his truffle farm which is on his property on the other side of the road. He also has a new barn that his insurance paid for when a big windstorm came and tore down his last one. It is so nice!

His pine trees:

Their house is like a museum, with each wall painted a different color. Their house was even pictured in a magazine! It was so cool! Fiona and I stayed in Jax's room, which was fish themed. Tido painted his whole room. Their house is so colorful!! There are also lots of different paintings that they have collected themselves from different countries!

This is Jax's TV room:

Fiona watched a movie. :)

We pointed out to them that 2 of the colors that came together were Florida State colors! :)
