We LOVE Montana Part 2

This was our last day in Big Sky and we enjoyed it by relaxing on the beach, going fishing, paddle boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, going for a walk, and just loving the nice cool weather! It was overcast this day and it even rained in the late afternoon! Karla and I were cold and had the fireplace on that night while we played cards! It was crazy to imagine since it was August and it was 115 degrees at home! It was a great day and I loved just being able to enjoy our last day there! I took the kids swimming early that morning and they just loved swimming in the hot tubs! They were really nice, but the pool was heated, so it was really nice too! Ty learned how to swim in the deep end this year and he was so excited to show Grandma and Grandpa his swimming skills!

We finally got grandma to try it out and she did great!

talk about good exercise...i peddled my legs as fast as i could and they were a burning! it was great though and the kids loved it!

                                             
Old Faithful was fun to see once, but I wouldn't worry about seeing it again! We had to wait around for a good hour and that is hard with three little kids! We got frozen yogurt to enjoy while we waited! The kids thought it was pretty cool, but they really thought the geysers were neat and they seemed more excited for them! We hiked to see the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and I thought it was breathtaking! Everyone grumbled about the hike there and back, but it really wasn't that bad! Besides, everyone can use a little exercise:) We saw lots of amazing and beautiful waterfalls and I was very nervous at every one of them! There weren't many side rails and I could just see one of my kids tripping and rolling down the mountain and into the water! As a mom, this is a very scary thought! I made them hold my hand and never get close to the edge! Well, we only saw one lone buffalo! We really thought we would see more wildlife! We exited Yellowstone through the north entrance and once we exited and were on our way back, we saw tons of deer, elk, and buffalo in farmers' fields! It was quite ironic! It was a very long day at Yellowstone, but we had a great time and were all very tired by the time we got home late that night! We were ready for a relaxing day!

    

                                   

                 

  

                                                                         

                             


                         




                         

A bear tried to get in this car the night before! It tweaked the window a little bit and left muddy paw prints all over the door and window! I guess they left a cooler in the car and left the window open a crack! Pretty crazy!

This is what happens when daddy is suppose to be watching the kids! I guess she was hungry and helped herself to left over pancakes and LOTS of syrup! We couldn't help but laugh!

On the way home we didn't take near as many pictures, but we did visit Uncle Craig's grave in Minorsville! It was nice to see it again! I haven't been there since his funeral! We had a great vacation and really weren't in a hurry to get home! Too bad vacation had to come to end! Hopefully we will head back there again one day!
