Bad timing.....this is what they are going to see on their vacation.
Told them to bring eye drops and asthma meds if needed. Bummer, because this will be the grands first visit to Montana, and it could be LA or Mexico City on a smoggy day. "There are mountains right over there, really!".........'sure, grandpa.....'
Do they know LA or Mexico City on a smoggy day? My dad would have been hard pressed to keep my brothers from setting off with a boy scout canteen of water to see that.
It's funny about Mexico City. I've seen it where the air was so clear the mountains far away were clear, and on days where one couldn't see two blocks, and the air looked yellow. Neither of them have seen Mexico City, both have seen LA. They are confirmed Seattlites. With climate changes, they are having doubts, though. The youngest is looking at Anchorage seriously.
I have a friend who spent her adult life as a teacher in a tiny town in Alaska. Her husband was military. They came home for retirement; the kids didn't.

DeleteHate to see those fires. Hope you get some good family time, none the less.
ReplyDeleteWe will, and the fires might last till the first snow in Oct.
DeleteWell at least they're coming to visit. Ours come rarely from far away Arizona...
ReplyDeleteyeah, don't see a lot of mine either.
DeleteGrand kids are fairly flexible. No doubt you'll make the best of it Mike.
ReplyDeletePlan to do a bit of fishing, and in any are interested some target shooting. Minor league, .22, with a whole bunch of gun safety worked in.
DeleteThat sucks! I'm sure they had a good time, just being there.
