My folks came to visit last week and, boy, did the weather cooperate! The last time they visited there was a wildfire in the mountains, and the visibility was near zero. This time we were blessed with clear skies and temps in mid-70's.
We took advantage of the mild weather to tour the nearby Brinton Art Museum with its western art and Native American collection. We also enjoyed the beautiful grounds, where the flowers were in beautiful full bloom.
Annabel joined us for a morning hike up the scenic Tongue River Canyon, a favorite! This was immediately followed by a large, well deserved brunch.
My parents always treat the kids to ice cream when are together, and Annabel & Thane were very happy to continue the tradition with yummy cones in Kendrick Park.
The highlight of the trip was our road trip to Billings, where we got to see the Blue Angels in action at the Yellowstone Air Show. Getting to watch these incredibly talented pilots in action was a bucket list item for my Mom, and we were delighted that we got to partake.
In fact, Thane now has visions of being a fighter pilot dancing in his head! He's just shy of 6'3" at 13 years of age, so we'll see if he'll be able to stay under the 6'5" height restriction. At this rate, we're not holding our breath!
We are so grateful that Dad & Mom came to visit, especially since they will be moving out of state in a few short weeks. Come again soon!
