June 1-30, 2016

Again, this is a condensed month blog instead of daily blog because there were so many things going on everyday and Edith was not able to keep track of daily activities.

June 3-5 Edith was with Keri and her three girls for Little Miss Colorado pageant in Thornton, CO.  The girls competed in Great Northern division.  Zella won the Ultimate Grand Supreme (Miss Great Northern States) and Sasha got Grand Supreme and Grand Talent Supreme (she signed National Anthem in American Sign Language).  Nikkol took the Mini Grand Supreme.

We went camping at Kim's Marina/RV Resort in Canyon Ferry, MT during June 9-12. We, along with Keri and her family, rented a pontoon for 2 days to enjoy boating and to let kids have a splash in the lake.  At nights there were games to be played at a tent that was hosted by deaf campers.  Edith was not feeling too good the whole time, kept saying she felt different.  She thought maybe it was because of high cholesterol that might affect her physical and mental state.

Hunter became 3 years old on June 12 and we all took him out for dinner at Wasabi in Bozeman, MT. It is hard to believe that three years ago Edith took a look at Hunter when he was 15 minutes old after being born and Hunter captured her heart.

Monday the 13th Edith decided to check into Three Forks Clinic to be examined and to have bloodwork done.  The lab result came back two days later and it showed cholesterol to be within range. The doctor thought there might be pressure on Edith's temple and prescribed medication.

We took our Lil' Home to MCM Motorcoach and Truck Repair to see if they can find what was wrong with air conditioning that was not blowing cold.  They found a leaky valve and had it replaced. They also added freon. 

Keri's parents came to visit with Keri and her family for few days, so we took a trip to Kalispell, MT, camped at Rocky Mountain Hi RV Park.  We spent the weekend exploring areas before returning back to Three Forks, MT.

On way to Missoula, MT from Kalispell, MT we came to an accident scene that just happened seconds before our arrival near Dixon, MT.  Several passerbys came to take care of the victims. One was pulled out from the upside down vehicle.  One of the passerbys was a paramedic and he had first aid kit with him, and advised Erwin to bring our fire extinguisher just in case.  We waited for about half an hour before the police ordered us to leave.

Before heading back to Three Forks we decided to get on Montana 1 to go to Philipsburg, Mt to spend a night there.  We stopped at a store that sells handmade soaps and picked up 3 bars.  We stayed at Inn at Philipsburg RV campground.

June 19 we took Keri and Dustin out for dinner at Montana Ale Works in Bozeman, MT.  The foods were fabulous especially truffled parmesan fries!  Good company, good food, good cheer!

Dustin & Keri - adorable lovebirds

We were in jolly mood after great dinner and dessert!

June 22 Edith and Keri, along with Sasha, Nikkol and Zella, went to Las Vegas, NV for overnight stay before continuing the trip to Anaheim, CA for Ultimate Dream Queen pageant.  Keri's best friend, Esther and her boyfriend, Terry, were there.  Even though we were very busy with getting the girls ready for each of their routines we had a great experience. Nikkol and Zella got new bicycles, but Zella decided to donate hers to someone who is in need of one.  

While we were still in CA Erwin went with Dustin and Hunter to meet Dustin's good friend, Mick and his 3 year old son at indoor rock climbing. Hunter had a good time climbing.
