Montana Fun!

Check out the slide show from some of the pictures we took in Montana. We had a great time! It seems that no matter how long we stay, the time just flys by. There is never enough time to visit and catch up with everyone. Even though we stayed the longest we ever have, the time went by quickly. This trip was great because the whole family was together. We were busy, busy, busy. We went to Seely Lake for a day picnic. Dan & Crystal were kind enough to bring their boat up too! Everyone got a chance to ride the tube and/or ski that wanted to! Others got a fun ride in the boat! Most liked the tube and going as fast as Dan could drive, then send them over the wake bumps. I tried skiing a few times (haven't skied in 25 years), didn't get up. I was afraid I would fall on my face and get hurt. lol
The girls and I went over to Coeur d'Alene, ID to see my friend Betsy and her family. We spent the night with them. It was great catching up and meeting their new family member Sophie, a fawn pug.
The weather cleared enough for the day so we went to Splash Montana. It was fun cooling off in the pool and riding the slides.
Then we went to the fair several days and watched Eric and Summer show their sheep. Summer got 2 purple ribbons and Eric got 2 blue! Great job! It was fun to learn about the sheep and 4-H while we were there. Kellie got to see her black and white cow too! She loves the cows! Saturday the kids all went on rides! Michelle and I went on rides too! Lots of fun memories. Everyone went to the rodeo on Friday night. It was a first for Kellie and Jessica. They have never been to a rodeo before. It was a great experience for both of them.
On Sunday, we did family pictures. It started out raining, but it managed to clear and we got all of our pictures done. I was so glad because this was the first time we have all been together in several years.
Over all, the weather was very cool, rainy and wet! I'm glad to be home in the 80's and see some sun. It was great to see all the family! Lots of great memories... hope you have some looking at the slide show.
