The Johnsons Pay a Visit

Our friends Ben and Jen Johnson came out our way from the Pacific NW with their two stellar kids, Hans and Stian. I found myself completely charmed by these boys, not only because they were total characters (as my dad would say) and as sweet as could be with Owain, but also because hanging out with them made me look forward to what our boys will be in the future.

We had a great time together during which we:

* went for a dip in the swimming hole at 22 mile ford
* enjoyed rootbeer floats at Colfax' newest family restaurant
* noshed on Jay's pizza
* bonded as parents for the first time
* fed the chickens and picked lettuce
* examined the ethical complications of fly swatting
* were reminded of why Ben is one of the most gratifying people in the world to cook for
* had Gideon take us for a spin around the property in the forecart, even in the rain
* learned that if Ben were ever in a coma/vegetative state he wants the T.V. ON and LOUD ENOUGH SO HE CAN HEAR IT so he doesn't get bored

We can't wait until they come again!
