Chickens...

The Aquilio family has quite a few chickens. We had fun feeding them food scraps and getting the eggs out of their chicken coup every day!  The kids even each held a chicken more than once! 

Picking up the eggs! 



Notice Corben standing behind Mason to pet the chicken.

Our Vacation to Montana....

Kids wanted water in their "coffee" cups.  We don't drink coffee, so not sure where they got this from, Mason was insistent on having her cup! 

Seattle Airport 
Once we got to Montana, we went out to dinner with Caleb's sister and her family (Aquilio family)....Caleb had a Buffalo Burger 
Every morning I got up and jogged around the area that the Aquilio family lived 

Huge dandelions 
Seriously size of my hand! 


Sunrise on my morning jog....BIG SKY MONTANA! 

Mostly paved area for bikers and runners on road, found one dirt path for awhile.  Loved the cool air in the morning!
