Our Montana Life: June 2009

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Do you all ever get sick of seeing pictures of our trips to Glacier?? I hope not because we love to share them. The Going to the Sun road wasn't open yet adn that really gets to the heart of the park. We camped at Hungry Horse Resevoir and Dam. It was FULL of mosquitos but when you grow up in MN they don't bother you all that much. Plus bug spray with 18% Deet helps! Here's some picks from our weekend outing with Ginger.

Look at the kids skipping rocks on Flathead Lake.

A video of us near one of the falls on McDonald Creek in Glacier NP. The water was running fast and loud! A picture did not do it justice.

Thanks for stopping by today. A few more pics in next post.

A Visitor!

We had a visitor last weekend! Ginger, Erik's aunt from Arizona, came up for a visit. We had a very good time giving her a tour of some of the best sites in the area.

Her first day we took her to the National Bison Range, which you may remember from here. We had a great day for travelling and sight seeing. Here's a few pics:

Views of a cats world

How are you all doing out there?? We've been doing well. It seems that now that we've been in Montana over 2 years we have less NEW stuff to post for you. We still REALLY love where we are living and we're getting outside all the time we just don't always take the camera anymore.
The cats wanted to say a quick hello and show off and few of the things they have been doing the past few months.
