Trip to Powell

An update for those that were unable to make it to Powell for the funeral. Kyle flew in from Scotland on Tuesday night, Sally, Bob, Quinn, and Courtney picked him up and Shelley and the kids arrived Tuesday day in Powell. Me, Boo, Dillon, Devin, and Damen left Thursday morning. The funeral for Tyler was Friday morning. The pastor did an excellent job at the service. He made several quotes from Job, which really fit perfectly. Much support for Kyle and the family. Many visitors came out to the house and spent quality time. Even due to those hard circumstances we had a fun time. The kids played hard and were constantly on the go. Kyle, Shelly and their 4 kids, Cole-17, Shane-14, Paytin-13, Kami-8 along with all of our clan Quinn-14, Courtney-12, Dillon-11, Devin-8, and Damen-6 made for much entertainment. Kyle and Shelly had their granddaughter (Tyler's daughter) Katelyn-2 1/2 spend some time out at the house as well.

Quinn, Courtney, and Dillon decided to stay up in Powell until next Saturday. Grandma Sally and Grandpa Bob have some "jobs" that need to get done and the kids thought they could be of some help. Maybe that offer of $$$ had an impact on their decision.... Pull weeds, mow lawn, stain the deck, help out at the Eagles Booth at the Park County Fair.... Good for them! We will pick them up and then go camping and fishing up in the Beartooth Mountain's.
Below you will see some snap shots that I captured while we were in Powell.

Slip n Slide Fun

Kyle bought a Surf Slip n' Slide for the kids. The older kids were having a hard time getting the board to glide nicely across the top, however, the little ones had an easier time. Must be a weight issue. Needless to say, the big ones gave up so the little guys had it all to themselves. They sure did not mind!
