Cousin Time!

In case you haven't seen our photo album on Facebook, here are a few pictures from our time visiting Dan's brother and family in Missoula, MT.  We hadn't seen them in a whole year so it was so special to spend time with them again.  What a difference a year makes.  Claire did GREAT on the 11-hour car rides this time around.  (Matthew, too.)  We spent the weekend just hanging out together in the kitchen and living room, reading books to the kids, eating good food, laughing, staying up late talking, and of course - playing Star Wars!  Matthew was overjoyed to see his older cousin, Daniel, again and it was rare to see the two of them without a light saber in their hands over the course of the weekend!  We enjoyed going to church with them, AWANA, and a trip to a big indoor carousel which we all rode on a few times.  We're so glad we got to go, and we even get to see them next month again when they all drive down here for Dan's sister's wedding!

The stunning view through the mountains on our way home!
