Sea Doo Mania hits the Gwilliams




Summer Fun '08


Lazy Days at KOA in Whitefish





Aftermath of water war in Columbia Falls, Montana. I'st place goes to Heather with the "Super Soaked and completely Drenched" Award. Dad was runner up with the "Just can't compete with my teenage son" award.

Austin, just jamin' around in his jams


The big Montana Chase...Oh no, the boys take it!!

Fall '07 - Spring '08


Our Summer Pool Help


Our very own "automatic" lawn mower - works grrrrreat!!

Our place, then and now

We put a lot of energy into our place - maybe too much. We've chipped away at it and brought it from rugged treed land to some sense of home. These are some shots that might let you see a bit of it.




Yes we have worked a lot of kids over the years!!



Still trying to turn it into a British park I think, or something out of one of Heather's Barbie movies. Not sure we'll ever succeed, but none the less it is what we call home.








Scotland '07




It's hard not to be ooshy gooshy about this place and these people. Some lucky folk get to be around their sister's, cousins and nieces and such all the time perhaps, but it's a rare treat for me. Just need to get rich so that it can be more often.


















And they call him "Dirty Harry" - we call him adorable.....
Just don't get on his bad side.











It may sound corny but having the opportunity of taking your child to the country of your birth is as priceless as the numbers of shells that wash up on the sand from the sea.







































Hawaii '07


"And he's up"





Crazy man let loose in Hawaii - I guess life does start after 40
