Montana

We left for Montana on saturday before Father's Day! When we got to the cabins on saturday afternoon it had been raining hard so we cooked dinner at the cabin then everyone headed out to do a little fishing! Katie, Braxton and I stayed back at the cabin though I didn't want Brax out in the rain  so we hung out! My dad and Josh got there later that night, Josh had been on trek so they weren't able to leave as early as we did. Kent went fishing and caught his first fish!! He had never been fishing before and now he loves it!! On sunday Ryan, Katie, Kent, Braxton, and I went into Yellowstone Park and went to the waterfalls! It was so pretty! We were able to see a lot of animals, there were 3 buffalo that crossed the road right in front of us and that was cool! We also drove by Quake Lake-I love that drive its so pretty! We wanted to show Kent a lot of things since he had never been there before. We went back to the cabins and had a really good dutch oven dinner with some awesome desserts also!!! Later that night we went to Big Springs with my dad, it was so pretty!
On monday we hiked into the little lakes, even Braxton hiked with us. Thanks to my dad, Ryan, and my aunts for all helping us out with him we made it to Hidden Lake and back out with little Brax! The lakes are so pretty up there! Braxton did really good hiking back out, he walked most of the way. He was worn out when we got back though and took a long nap!! Nice for me too cause I was tired! The guys stayed out to night fish and I headed back with the girls and kids to get cleaned up!
Tuesday is when all the women and kids go into West Yellowstone to do some souveneir shopping! We were suppose to go home that day so we had everything packed in the car, Kent went fishing with the guys for a bit then headed into West to get me and Brax. When he got there he had talked to his boss and decided to stay the rest of the time! I didn't believe him at first but I'm so glad we were able to stay!!! Later that night we left all the kids at the cabins with pizza and the adults headed in for a nice dinner in Island Park. We went to a little steakhouse- it was so good!!
Wednesday we went to the lake again, this time we decided to just hang out on Cliff Lake instead of hiking in. We went in the little fishing boats and in my dad's drift boat to do some fishing! We also went to the rope swings- the boys had so much fun. Josh and Kent decided to jump in the water off the swing-the water up there is so cold! They are crazy but they had fun!! Kent decided to go on the swing one more time and didn't take off his cowboy hat, well it fell off into the water and sunk before we could get to it! Dang! We will have to get him a new one. Braxton is totally traumatized by it still! Its too cute! He kept asking me-"Where daddy hat?" I would tell him it fell in the water and we need to get him a new hat. He kept asking and asking all night and still does!! Now if you ask him where daddy's hat is, he will say- "Daddy hat in the lellow" Lellow means water. Too cute!!!

Thursday morning it was time to get everything packed and head home. We had a great trip and we have a new fisherman in the family!! Kent loved it and can't wait to go again!!!
