Here Comes Summer!

We have been busy having lots of fun lately!! First, we drove up to Big Sky Country and spent a long, relaxing weekend out in the great wide open.









I think this guy is one of those horse whisperers.











The following week, Bournes came from miles around to take some pictures and hang out together. Brian's parents & brothers Zach & Quincy came down from the woody north. His brother James and wife Amber came up from the parched deserts of Arizona - and they brought little Jaxon along.


What a cutie! It's amazing how different he and Brighton are with just 4 months between them! We look forward to getting the little guys together again soon. Hooray for cousins!

Looks like we have a babysitter in the making - Abbi is so good with the little ones!

















Then, as if we weren't having enough fun, the pool at our condos opened - woo hoo! Now, it is officially summer as far as we're concerned.

Brighton enjoyed lounging in the shade
and staring up at the blue sky.



So, if you are ever looking for us some sunny Saturday try the pool first.

My sister brought her little guy, complete with the mandatory triple protective bionic swimwear (see below), over to test out his new dolphin floaty.

We'll have to get Brighton's other cousins up here to splash around with us!

I found out that the little plastic pants that must be worn over the swimmer diaper and under the bathing suit (new rules after last year's scary crypto outbreak) can not be found at any stores in this town!!

It turns out that they can only be purchased at two local pools and nowhere else!

My sis got Brighton 2 pairs for when he is bigger and goes swimming - which is apparently a good idea as it seems there is some kind of shortage. Probably cutbacks at the plastic pant factory.






The elusive pants are admittedly breathtaking.
