Montana Living... here we come!

As we do every year, we headed down to Montana for a few weeks.  It's always fun to see family, spend time in the lake and just enjoy the summer that is before us.  We were even blessed with enough sunshine to more then make up for the last 2 years!  As always, a running tally of the things that we did.

The Boys kicking back and trying to enjoy the tube ride.  Aiden was brave this year and actually got on the tube!  He actually went a lot!  I don't think that I had any pictures, but Enoch also went on the tube a fair bit this year.

This is what happens when the tube gets flipped hard enough.  Not to mention that Caleb was fully clothed when that happened, ripping a pair of jeans.  Not mentioning that.  One bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caleb taking the swan/face plant dive off of the dock.  The kids did a lot more swimming this year, which I was really happy with.

Double Tubes with cousins!

We had a great view of these wild flowers the 2 weeks we were there.  My father-in-law had them mixed in with the grass seed and we all agreed that it was an excellent idea!

Diving not your style?  How about cannonball?

My brother-in-law wiping out on the air ski.  If you can't get up on the air ski, you'd better be ready to pull out some fantastical wipe-outs instead.

Feeding the ducks and geese at the Woodland Park.  They weren't nearly as aggressive as they have been in years past.  Perhaps people stopped feeding them and this generation doesn't know that people exist for feeding?  We'll never know.

Clark and 2 of the boys on the jet ski.  They spent a lot of time looking for turtles, eagles, fish, etc on the jet ski in the more quiet (if that's at all possible) part of the lake.  Secretly, I think Clark was just trying to get some quiet time as best he could.

My sister-in-law, her niece and Caleb.  I spared the niece the more entertaining pictures of her face as they hit some sharp turns.  Fun to look at.

Another past-time for Clark to find zen: fishing.  He had to coax Enoch down to actually "catch" the fish.  But, he's happy that he went!

Wake Boarding ala Caleb

Random picture... what's this?

Cousins!

Best Friends and Cousins... and Kyrie's closest thing to a sister.

There was a lot of Kayaking this year, which was awesome!

Caleb getting fancy with the skis.

My first attempt at wake boarding... this is me getting up just before I face-planted!

Yeah.

3 cousins close in age, there's another group like this.  I'm excited to see these kids grow up and start playing together.

Lip Sync/Dance on the dock.

Getting some air on the tube.  As always, love being in Montana, and seeing family.  I'm really fortunate that I get along with Clark's family and I'm glad for all of the fun we have.
