Family, Football and Farm Days

This Labor Day weekend we traveled to Bozeman, MT to visit family. My brother Erik is starting school at Montana State University this fall and they had their first football game on Saturday. He is a music major and therefor in the marching band. If you have ever heard the adage, "If you don't like the weather in Montana wait five minutes and it will change", you would have been an eye witness to this. We went to the game in hot sunny weather and just after half time they cleared the stadium due to lightening threat. Wow.

Sunday saw beautiful weather for Farm Days at The Museum of the Rockies before the storm moved in. It seemed to drop 20 degrees in 20 minutes.

We woke up to rain on Monday morning and hit snow going home. Oh, wonderful Montana "fall" weather. But overall it was a truly terrific weekend. We got to spend time with family and friends, baby Etta got to "strut" her stuff and it was a wonderful time.

Hard to believe that one year ago we spent a family weekend in Seattle. Baby Etta had just been discovered. It seems like an eternity ago yet a blink of an eye.

Praise be to God!
