Seely Lake, MT '09

I apologize to all our adoring fans (if we have any...) for being such a slacker about updating our blog. I know I'm like 3 or more events behind but over the next couple of days I plan to fix that since I have so many great pictures and memories to share with everyone. So here we go... Onward to Montana!!

We left for Seely Lake, Montana on July 3rd in the morning. We decided to just drive straight through without our usual overnight stop in Idaho Falls. Brave I know. Anyway we actually didn't have to bad of a time, we did stop in Idaho Falls for lunch and spent sometime admiring the falls and then we continued on to Montana. Jordyn was as good as you can expect a 2 year old to be on an 8 hour car ride and so obviously we were pleasantly surprised. Once we got to Montana we had a great time!! The 4th of July in a small town is a hoot!! Brian and I took Jordyn, Easton and Dylan to the little parade on Main Street and it was so much fun!! Jordyn waved to like everyone who passed, it was really cute. We had a BBQ that night with all Brian's family then we went to see the Fireworks over Seely Lake with Eric and Michelle and their kids and Paula and June. There was a band playing and tons of fireworks. We loved it!! The rest of the week was spent playing in the river, golfing (Brian anyway), taking walks, playing in the little pool, eating, playing games, visiting, cookie bars and lottery scratchers. Brian won 3rd place for the second year in a row in the 3rd annual Jim Ross Memorial golf tournament (the first year we were evacuated before the game... *lol*) which is pretty awesome. I was not almost eaten by a bear this year so that was good too!! It's always sad to leave our favorite little town behind but very nice to get home!! With a quick stopover in Butte for the Folk Festival, which had a shadow thrown over it due to Jordyn being pretty sick on Saturday, we were on our way home and when we actually got here we couldn't have been happier!! The trip sure seems a lot longer on the way back... *lol* Anyway we had a great time and look forward to next summer!! These are a few of my favorite picture, for a full accounting you can check out my facebook page (if you need the info let me know)!!
