Once in Montana, what do we do but take advantage of the lack of sales tax to buy Papa and Knut new computers! Papa's computer has been quite popular with the crowd of "youngsters" who enjoy the Youcam...
Papa seems to think that there's something wrong with this picture...
Grandpa set up a badminton net in the backyard, and it has seen much usage. Even Leif has tried his hand at it...though he hasn't managed to hit the birdie OVER the net yet... ;)
Knut and I played two games...both of which I won. ^_^ This may or may not be the first time since we were six and three, respectively, that I have beaten him at a game of skill and coordination...but we won't go into that.
Of course, then Thor beat me 10-0...but we won't go into that either!
Bjorn fell asleep with his play false teeth in his mouth the other night, to the great entertainment of everyone else, and of Bjorn himself when he woke up the next morning.
There have, of course, been plenty of games of Squeak, Pinochle, Coffee Talk, and the rest...
Bjorn, Thor, Gloria, and Cecily playing Squeak with Aunt Paige, who came to visit for a couple days.
We took a trip to the Montana Museum in Billings, at which we saw a knife collection to rival Colt Smith's! (For those of you who saw the Drama Club performance. ;))
This must have been Colt's collection from a little while after the play happened, because he'd gained 5 knives, bringing his total up to 121.
Besides all that, we've been enjoying the time to relax and recuperate from our crazy, insane, and hectic summer...a blessing which is very much appreciated and enjoyed. :)
To be continued...
