The week without Bump

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. It seems that many of us have had the summer-slacker-syndrome when it comes to blogging. This week Bump got to go with his dad and brothers on their annual Father-Son fishing trip. Tyler was able to fly out from Ohio with his son Wes and they all went in on a cabin rental just outside of Bozeman, Montana. The cabin was right on a beautiful river with several other rivers within a short driving distance. Bump said that it was nice and cool and absolutely beautiful! He is moving Bozeman up on his list of places where he would like to live.He hasn't given me a lot of details on the trip, but it was really relaxing for him and it was very much needed. They were able to watch a lot of the Olympics and cheer on Michael Phelps and the other swimmers, as well as the "Redeem Team," as the press is calling the US Mens Basketball team.
He got back last night just as the kids were going to bed and you should have seen the looks on the kids faces when their dad came walking into their room! You would have thought he has been gone for months rather than almost a week. They screamed and giggled, almost to hysterics, and jumped all around the room. Then he got to spend lots of time in their room trying to calm them back down to go to sleep again!
While he was gone my sister, Tera, and her 3 kids came out and spent that time with us. We had fun working on the computer, watching the Olympics and doing some other busy work around the house. It was nice to have the company before she starts school again next week.
Anyway, the week went by really fast and there isn't much else to tell. We are glad that Dad is back home and that he had a really fun trip to Montana!

Hey, Erik has wanted to live in Bozeman for years. I am sure that you were ready to have him home!
