We’ve been in Lander since Saturday, July 7^th.  It was only 70 miles from DuBois so it was a quick trip, but we left a little later in the morning than usual to take advantage of the breakfast brunch of Lonnie’s Breakfast Burritos.

As soon as we got set up we went over to our daughter Kris’ house. We were met by our exuberant 3 ½ year old grandson, Rowan. We normally Skype with Rowan once a week, but haven’t been able to due to slow internet in most of the parks we’ve stayed at. How much he has changed in two months.

We also got to spend some time with Eric’s mom, Kae, who has been in Lander for a couple of months. She has a little house she bought when Kris and Eric first moved to Lander. Later, we all had dinner at our favorite restaurant, Asian Cuisine.  

Sunday, Kae treated us to brunch at a new restaurant, Middle Fork. Afterwards we waddled back to Kris’ and Eric’s house to recover. Rob put a couple of coats of varnish on his bbq table. We had brought Dusty over to be able to spend some time not so cooped up as he was in the motorhome, but it was so hot, he just stayed on the front deck in the shade. Later in the afternoon Rob and I went back to the motorhome for dinner of leftovers but we were still so stuffed from brunch we had a glass of wine and went to bed.

Monday, Kae left for her home in Washington and Rob and I hung out with Kris in the morning while Rowan was at his play group. The afternoon was spent watching Rowan at his swimming lesson and more hanging out.

The rest of our time we just hung out with Kris and Rowan, while Eric worked, and caught up on some things we needed to get done.
