Papa Jim and "big dogs"

Papa Jim and two of his 3 favorite ladies!

I am still catching up on blogging our summer activities.  Here we are in October and these pictures were taken in late July.  The three of us visited Papa Jim and Grandma Sandee for a long weekend while enroute to Yellowstone and the Tetons.  We floated the Big Hole River where Papa Jim caught his first fish as a little boy around 5 years old.  Lindsey enjoyed some time on the sticks.  Chris was talking to Lindsey about visiting Grandpa Jim the week before our visit.  Grandpa Jim quickly morphed into "Papa Jim" and Lindsey was also very interested in meeting what Chris referred to as the "Big Dogs".  Lindsey was so excited that it turned into a song that we sang on our way to Papa Jim's house.  It goes something like "We're going to go see the big dogs tonight, tonight...".  Papa Jim and the big dogs are well cemented into Lindsey's memory, as is Papa Jim's cat named goose.  When ever we talk about or see pictures of Papa Jim, Lindsey always asks about how the big dogs are doing.
