The Kowalski's

The Kowalski's is what a woman at church called us today.  She is so sweet.  Once she called us the "Perris's"  HAHAHA.  We love her for her efforts.  We do not have the easiest name!  Gave us a good little giggle.  Well friends we have CERTAINLY had a wonderful month of August!  I have a goal to blog more, because there are so many things I need to write down that I just don't!  Plus I love reading people's blogs, it's really fun.  And a great way to stay in touch.  And it's entertaining.  So if you're looking for any of that, stay tuned because I'm about to turn on the major bloggage business.  This post will mostly include pictures from our adventures in August, of which I will elaborate this week.  We had a great time!!!  Got home a week ago Thursday, and Sunday had some unexpected, but very welcome, guests!  It was awesome to have the Ashley + Kevin Harrys here :)

 Wade LOVES Uncle B and Tia Maddy.  Cabin with Kusileks

 All showered and waiting for Perris' arrival... it was so so exciting!

 Our first hug.  I know.  Tender.  We were so cuddly, good thing we had to share a TWIN bed that night!  Oh my UNCOMFORTABLE.  But we loved it, let's be honest.

 Visiting the Minnesota gang!

 Saying goodbye to Dan the Man and Beau.  Then we were OFF to Montana via South Dakota and all the lovely and interesting stops along the way:

 Such as:  The Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD.  Very, very cool.

 2 trucker hats for $8.  Can't go too wrong with that!

 Mt RUSHMORE is so awesome.  Amazing, and beautiful.

 Here we are at the Great Falls, of GREAT FALLS, MONTANA.  New home to the dearies, Lynette and Esteban.  And I love this family picture of Wade flailing to be released, my hair goin a little crazy, and Perris giggling.

Great Falls is also home to the shortest river...I can't even remember what it is called now.  Dang it.  But look at this cutie patootie.  He is so hilarious.

 YELLOWSTONE was the next stop before returning to the homestead.  My favorite part of Yellowstone:  Yellowstone River Falls.  I don't even know if that's the official name but it is breathtaking and gorgeous and unreal.  The clear, blue/green river below contrasted with the yellow stone surrounding is impossible to capture with camera.

 A peek at our visitors of last week during family home evening....

Look at our beautiful mountains.  Oh how I will miss thee, majestic mountains!

Be back later!!!
