2008 in Pictures, Part 2

Rebekah's family came to visit in early July, so we went on a scouting trip to Glacier the week before they came since Glacier had significantly more snow than normal. You can see why Ryan usually doesn't give his wife the camera.


We didn't see any baby mountain goats due to the snow, so Ryan had to resort to taking pictures of people instead.



This is Rebekah's family's plane arriving--taken from our front porch. We're going to miss living three minutes from the airport when we leave Missoula!


And here are the obligatory animals in Glacier photos from our trip with Rebekah's family.





We had lived in Montana for four years and had never seen a grizzly (other than the stuffed one in the airport); Rachel and Doug saw three on their first time visiting us!


This old mountain goat seemed to have been quite hot in the previous week as he had shed his entire coat.


We ate,


hiked,


ate some more,


and posed for pictures.



In late July/early August, our friend and Ryan's coworker Michael came to visit the northern office of Autometrix. Of course, we took him to Glacier as well.


In August we celebrated Rebekah's birthday and her sister Rachel's birthday with her family and celebrated her grandmother's life with her dad's family at Grandmother's funeral.


We attended our 5-year reunion at Wheaton in October and even have an iconic Wheaton photo to prove it.


We stayed with our Wheaton friend Sarah and her husband Kyle and got to hang out with their daughter Elsa.


This Fall was really busy, so we didn't get around to taking many pictures. However, here's one final picture of Glacier from our trip Thanksgiving weekend during which we found out that we're winter camping wimps (it wasn't even freezing!).
