Hometown, U.S.A...

A Day with the Chavalases

Or should that be Chavali? However you say the plural of it, the Chavalas family is awesome and we're lucky enough to spend some time with them each August during their yearly trip to Montana. Our kids love their kids- Elizabeth (20), Michael (18), Jonathon (16), David (14), & Benjamin (12)- and their kids love our kids. It's truly a week full of fun, love, & laughter.

Here are some pictures from our day together at Flathead:

Camping with the Abbotts

We had the pleasure of spending a few days at our spot on Flathead with Chad, Jasmin, & Tristan. We've been talking about doing it for about two years now and have finally gotten around to it-- 4 weeks before they move to Germany.

Regardless of how long it took us, we had a blast, and I got some great shots in of the kiddos. 

Chad & Jasmin, you guys have been such awesome friends and neighbors and we're really going to miss the three of you immensely. Here's to whatever the future holds for your wonderful family.
