Here's a girl who takes Psalm 84:10 very seriously: "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness." Not even sleep will keep her from her post!
We did something unusual today. At the advice of a friend who is a mom, we went to the local humane society to play with the cats and dogs. I had never done that before, so I didn't know what to expect. But it was great fun both for the kids and for us. The workers were very welcoming and gave us access to almost all the pets with the exception of the puppies who have already been claimed for adoption. Apparently they don't let strangers play with them for fear of their getting injured somehow. I didn't quite follow, but that's their policy.
In any case, we first played with several different kittens. Growing up, it seemed we always had kittens around. I had forgotten how playful they are. Next, the older kids spent a little time with the one puppy there who was yet to be adopted. Finally, we took an adult lab to a yard outside for a few minutes. He seemed like a good dog - full of energy and eager to fetch.
After that, we looked at a pop-up camper for sale at the Butte (there is a local town called "Butte", but everyone here refers to it as "the" Butte for some reason). We liked it but are not sure if we'll see it again.
Here are some pictures from the humane society.
