Christmas in July

Glenn's neice and newphew Wendi and Brian were camping near Grangeville with their Dad and step-mom a couple weeks ago. We wanted to go join them overnight, but it was the week before Nicole's horse show and things were too crazy to find enough time to camp. So we took the scenic drive up the Southfork of the Clearwater and sat around the campfire with them. We were all tempted to sleep in the pickup, but the voice of reason won out and we drove home instead.

Brian is Nicole's godfather and they had Christmas gifts for each other. We didn't manage to see Brian around Christmas, so they got to open their gifts in July! Brian is a smart man--he got Nicole a book on horses (Chicken Soup for the Horse Lovers Soul). Her two favorite loves, reading and horses. Is this my daughter, or what?!

The huge black object on the left would be Brian's dog, Kodi. He's a sweetheart, but he's your typical lab that acts like a juvenile until he's an old man!!! We took him for a walk while we were there. I take that back, he took us for a walk while we were there!
