You're a wizard 'arry!

Matt and I had a Harry Potter party a week ago. Unfortunately we were too caught up in the party to take any pictures but one so here are some of the pictures from our Honeydukes Muggle Tested Treats poster:

Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean

Nosebleed Nougat

Gryffindors won our Madam Malkin Robe contest by a landslide. Each team had a bag of supplies to construct a Wizard or Witch costume. We also had a sorting, Hogwarts feast, game of Quidditch and transfigured playdough into Harry Potter shapes. We finished the night by watching the last HP movie in theatres. It was a really fun night despite the fact that we had 20 adults packed into our living room on a hot humid evening. I have to admit that it will probably be a while before Matt and I get up the energy to host another party! It was really a lot of work!

Montana

Logan's Pass. We were almost the only tourists wearing shorts and sandals. Crazy Canadians!

A really cool restored carousal in Missoula. Jonas kept this face the whole ride.

He liked the park much better!

Huckleberry ice cream cones.

On the Farm

The bunkhouse we lived in the first summer I was a baby. I slept in a dresser drawer.

Jonas loved his taste of farm living. He always wanted to be outside but sometimes he settled for watching Grandpa from the window.

Dad gave us a really fun tractor ride on a rickety old trailer.

Dad cut the lock off an old shed and we found this 18th century stove that Mom wants to repaint and put in the new house they will build.

I think Grandpa has finally met his match for love of the outdoors!
