The kids and I spent a week in Montana in July.
It's so fun to see cousins playing games together.
The darn deer were eating my parents garden, so the electric fence was put up. Here is Emily touching it.
Emily and Megan on the swing. The smoke made the sun look really cool, especially for Tyler's shot.
We played Uncle Wiggly, a game I played as a child and that was my moms when she was a child.
We went on a couple hikes.
Dad, Olivia, and Mom on the back row and Emily, Tyler and Megan up front.
The view from the mountain
Our second hike we went up to the Cairn and added our own rocks.
Tyler, Emily, Megan and Olivia playing Scattergories.
We also floated down the river 2 days. (Megan, me, Olivia, Emily, Kimberly and Tyler)
Emily got a huge innertube and couldn't maneuver very well on the first day, so she and I were tied together the second day.
We got up early one morning to drive 2 hours before getting to our hike up into a mountain lake.
Emily, Tyler and Megan getting ready for the hike.
It was a little sloshy and wet from the rain, but we got to cross a stream. (Megan)

The kids caught over 30 fish. Some were too small to keep, but the fishing was good.
Snack time
Megan took some wildflower pictures
I enjoyed a little siesta laying under the big blue sky.
Lunch time back at the pick up
The kids were excited to have a chance to ride in the back of the pick up.
One day we drove up to Missoula to see Aubrey and Kyle participate in a tennis tournament. This indoor facility wasn't real friendly for spectators, but it was fun to be there.
Another day we went to Lewis and Clark Caverns. Megan, Emily and Tyler at the mouth of the cave
The cavern was pretty cool. Megan, Mom, Dad, Tyler and Emily
We had to slide down on our bums here
Later that afternoon we went to the nearby mountains to ride the ATVs and shoot the rifle

Dad cooked up some of the fish the kids caught. Shorgy got a little piece too since Porgs love fish
We loved spending time with Mom and Dad!
