Vacation in Montana

The day after Christmas we jumped on a plane and headed to Montana. Because they make you pay to reserve seats we thought we'd just hope for the best. Yup, last seats on the plane. It made my day though that Eliza went running back there and jumped in and said, "Look mom, a window!" Yes, that was a window with the engine less than 12 inches away. All she could see was blue, but it didn't matter to her.

We had a great time sledding and swimming at the cabin. It was a nice group with my family, my brothers family, and friends family. There was plenty of snow to sled on which was perfect for the girls. Jenna didn't ever want to come in... she just loves to be outside!

These are my friends kids. They were fun to have around. Eliza loved playing with Laynee. My mom had candy projects for the kids to do and take home!



Scott decided to take a dip in the hot tub and it quickly filled with little ones. What a sport!

My brother from Utah drove up and was at the cabin for a few days with us. Unfortunately, they didn't have quite the nice entrance we did. At this point I was really glad we were able to fly!




This was the second time they used this tree to come down the drive. I don't think my dad will ever get rid of it! The roads were quite slick and with new snow they were a bit unpredictable.

After the cabin I headed up to spend some time on my sisters farm. Scott had returned to Vegas to work for a couple days then flew back to get us home. We had fun on the farm, snowmobiling, sledding and running around outside. My brother in laws goal was to see how many people we could fit on the sled and snowmobile. He tried to get me on there because I'm worth at least 1 and half!

I forgot to take pictures of Jenna with her favorite entertainment... the two dogs! She would sit on their backs and ride them. Scott was also able to go shoot with my brother in law and picked up this little hunting trophy...yum! Lucky for me that had to stay, I didn't think it would make it through security. Once again, grateful we didn't drive!


Overall it was a great vacation! It was great to be in the snow and cold for a few days but even nicer to be around family. It was great!

I'm bummed we didn't get up there to see you. Tim was all chickeny about the roads. Looks like you had a ton of fun!
