First Visitors of Summer Part 2!

Bennett, Preston and I went into Yellowstone with Mickey, Kory, Kaleb and their Norwegian friends one day and we went to Lamar Valley, Canyon, Tower and Mammoth Hot Springs!

We saw buffalo.....

First Visitors of Summer Part 1!

On the 23rd of June, our friends, Kory, Mickey and Kaleb Bambrick/Slaatthaug from La Connor, Washington arrived and brought their friends, Are, Tina & Daniel Johansen. The Johansen family came straight from Norway and traveled to MT with them in their RV.  They arrived on Saturday and left Wednesday and we had a great time. They went rafting, played on the beach, went into Yellowstone, jumped on the trampoline, rode dirt bikes and 3 wheelers etc. They also brought vanilla sauce from Norway, which we practically drank! It was so good!! :)

Tina (from Norway) gave Fiona a french braid while we were waiting for pizza to bake.

Saturday's Menu:

Pizza
Salad
Cheesecake!

We took them down to the beach...

Tilly said "cheese" about 200x because there were 4 cameras pointing at her!

Kaleb (from La Connor) and Bennett.

Their RV and Electric Peak.

 Mickey (La Connor) created a feast for lunch on Sunday!

She brought all the food! Thank you Mickey!!!

On June 24th, Korey, Kaleb, Are, Tina and Daniel went on a raft ride with the Flying Pig Raft Company. Mickey and I were the photographers and Are let me use his HUGE fancy camera!!!

Gardiner:

Kaleb, Are, Daniel and Tina ready for their trip!

Walking down to the river!

Loading up.

Blast off! :P

Are!

We stopped at our house to take pictures on the beach. :)

While waiting for the raft, I took some other pictures. :)

Finally!

Farewell!

Electric Peak.

Daniel (Norway) loved watermelon so much, he put some in his taco!!

Fiona was so tired, she fell asleep at the kitchen table!

Are bought a fishing license in Gardiner and he went fishing at our property. He caught one!
