Montana with the Berens

We had a great time in July with our friends Kevin and Lynn Berens at their place in Montana. (Yes, the same place mentioned in an earlier post.) We went out on their boat... (all seven kids) They rented a water trampoline that the kids greatly enjoyed...

(Sammy and Nathan) Everyone rode at least one of their two jetskis...

(Jessie and Erika) and all the kids experienced chills and thrills tubing...

(Erika and Josh) a great time was had by all and we can't wait to go back next year (If they'll have us -- 7 is a lot to endure.)

We had more visitors from Chicago in June. Our friends Daniela, Hugo, twins Stephanie and Lexie (10), Matthew (4), and Daniel (6) came for a week and we had great fun showing them around.
We went to our favorite little hiking spot at Garden of the Gods, and to Waterworld Water Park another day.
Daniela, Hugo and the two girls went rafting one day while the two boys enjoyed hanging out with Josh and the other Puccini kids.
We also took a ride up to the Continental Divide where it was quite chilly way up there.
