To celebrate Levi and Melissa both graduating from BYU we took a trip as a family to our condo in Columbia Falls, MT. It was absolutely beautiful there! Unfortunately both Rachelle and I had to leave our husbands at home and Kassie wasn`t able to get time off from school so we didn`t get the entire Lowry family. We did pretty well though.
Markus and Zak helping grandma cook. (Notice how the only way Markus can sit up with them is with the Bumbo)
This is the first time Markus sat up on his own. Don`t get excited though, this is the only time he did it and it didn`t last long. He didn`t do it again for a LOOONNNGGG time.
They are just so precious when they sleep.
Here we went on a nature walk in the mountains and found a tree that had a very large hollow part in it.
I think DeDee was trying to not be seen in this picture so it looked like Markus was standing on his own, but it didn`t really work out.
Noah became James`best friend during this trip:)
Classic Markus face. I`m sure any of you who have spent any time with Markus can hear the sounds he is making.
Telling stories to Grandma in a tree.
Look how cool I am with James`hat!
We spent a lot of time at the swimming pool, but it was rare to get Levi there because he was forever golfing with Dad. Markus didn`t really know what to think about the cold water.
The hot tub was a much more enjoyable experience. He wasn`t able to really go in, but he sure loved being splashed a bit. He was getting blue lips in the other pool.
Proud grandparents 1!
Proud grandparents 2! It is a rare thing to get all of the grandkids together in one place to get a picture.
Markus decided he was sick of yogurt and decided that he likes instant oatmeal. YAY!!
