The visitors.....

This weekend we have been blessed to have Alyson, Jim & Lily come for an extended weekend. I has been a joy to have them here. The weather has cooperated also, which is unusual in November.

They arrived late in the evening on Friday night. On Saturday, we went to the zoo.

Here is Lily feeding a peacock.



Lily was a little apprehensive about the huge horses. She eventually warmed up, sort of, to the smaller of the two.



Zoo Montana isn't large, by any definition, but we did have a good time. Lily did get a good look at the Siberian Tiger.



Lily did very well in Bible class on Sunday. Her teachers could tell that she was used to attending Bible classes.

On Monday, we were lazy around the house. Lily loves to play. She played with some kitchen utensils I bought for her that were just her size. She transferred lima beans from one bowl to the other for about an hour.



I caught a little video of Lily sitting at the table reading the Reader's Digest. She is quite a good "reader". It was fun watching her "read".



Geezer set about mowing the lawn in the afternoon and Lily wanted to help.



Monday night, Jim and Alyson went on a date to celebrate Jim's recent promotion. Geezer and Ga Ga got to babysit. We started out trying to feed Lily the leftovers mom suggested. You can see the results for yourself. It was a stand off.


Geezer and I had pizza for dinner and Lily shared with us. She likes pizza much better than leftover veggies and pasta.

Today we went to Riverside Park to feed the ducks and geese. Ga Ga's only mistake was not taking enough bread. Lily had SO MUCH FUN feeding the birds, and she was extremely upset when we had to leave.



The visit is coming to a close, as all good things must. They are heading home tomorrow and we will just have to content ourselves with webcam visits for a while.

  1. Looks like fun. The dinner "stand off" picture was funny.
