On July 1st, our cousins from Indianapolis came and stayed for a week. Aunt Julie and Uncle Mike drove from Indy to Idaho to visit Uncle Mike's family and then they headed for Seattle to drop Uncle Mike off at the Airport, since he had to go back to work in Indy. While they were in Seattle, they picked up Grandma and drove to our house to stay for a week before they returned to Indy. We had a really good time!

We went to the Livingston Roundup Parade on July 2nd.
Before the parade, we went to a memorial service for Dan's mom, Vicki. After the parade was over, we jumped back in the car and headed to the memorial dinner at Dan and Becky's house. :)
Imported salmon from B.C. :)
To get the BBQ started, they waved plate baskets over the fire. :) Montana style!
