Montana Vacation

We are now back from our two week stay in beautiful Montana. The getting there and coming back were not fun b/c of our 8 hour delay in the Denver airport and then the 3 hour delay there coming back. We ended up getting home at 2:00 am Wednesday morning, but the boys did a great job holding it together the whole time. They are very good little travelers.

As for our stay in MT, we had a wonderful time. The weather was cooler, although it was a little too chilly for me for June weather (lows in 30s, highs in high 50s, low60s mostly). I'm not complaining though! It also rained the first 6 days we were there, but it was still nice to relax and also find other adventures to go on.

We were able to do everything we wanted to do while we were there and more. I think I'll let the pictures and videos give you an idea of our experiences there, but here's a list of some things we did: saw a monster truck show (great people watching there!), drove to see black bears in captivity, went to Glacier Park a couple times, drove to a cliff to see mountain goats, went to Little Bitty Ranch to pet some farm animals and ride horses, hiked on Big Mountain and went on the Alpine Slide and rode on the lift there, went to the Whitefish farmer's market where the boys got to see a firetruck and use the fire hose, rode on the neighbor's boat on the lake and the boys got to drive the boat, and of course went fishing with Grandad!

Uncle Steve, Aunt Laura, and cousins Will and Alex came in from Denver for the last three days we were there, so we got in some time with them as well. The boys have so much fun together, I wish we could see them more often!
