Montana

We had a great time on our trip to Montana. Jack flew out a few days ahead to hang out with grandma and grandpa. He did great and enjoyed his alone time (and grandma and grandpa survived prety well too). And Ben pointed out that they did several activities during those 5 dyas that we haven't managed to get around to during his last 10 visits. They visited the National Bison Range and saw some bison. They went for a hike on the trail of the cedars in Glacier Park and went to the bear park nearby (where you can see bears from your car). Jack calls the park "snow glacier" and the bear place "bear glacier." They went for a buggy ride with cousin Shannon's neighbor.

Rose did great on the flight, was a big hit with all the family, and went easy on us at night. She is fattening up real good and getting cuter every day.

Jack really enjoyed the lake. He learned how to swim with his life jacket, and by the end was getting very comfortable in the water. He wanted to take his "morning swim," "afternoon swim," and once a "nighttime swim." He loved going to Bird Island to swim from the beach and throw rocks. (Throwing rocks into the lake is still pretty interesting to him, but once he learned how to swim off the dock, that displaced a lot of the rock-throwing time.)

We all had a good time in "Big Sky Country" (Jack says "I like to call Montana Big Sky Country; and I call Los Angeles Small Sky City... and I call Colorado snow country.")
