Schools Out!

And so were we!

The girls and I embarked on a nearly three week vacation and posting all that that entails will take a while so I will start in baby steps.

I know I am wayyyy behind, but I'm distracted by a little book called "Breaking Dawn" but I know it is time to get going on vacation blogging and I'm only halfway through my book so don't give anything away!

OK---Our first stop was Idaho, which was more like a "layover." Lane stayed another day but the girls and I were off the next day.
Next stop--God's Country--The last Great Place--Montana--Don't let the crappy, ugly little hill this sign sits on fool you--Most of Montana is BEAUTIFUL.
We finally saw Gramma Fay's new house she moved into two and a half years ago and we've never seen. I'm realizing as blog I only took a backside view (check out the two little punkins waiting for the sprinkler to hit them). I'm realizing I should have taken more photos while there but I got distracted by this little guy...
What a cutie, eh? This is Haiyden, my great nephew....yes, I said great. I know, I don't hardly look enough to be a great aunt....ha ha ha......wish that were true!

Things we did while in Montana:

BBQ, Dinner out, seeing old friends, visit to Dad's grave, which went better than expected, except for Hannah and that went EXACTLY as expected....side note: my dad is buried in August, MT. If you are ever in this tiny little town of just under 300 people, you must eat at The Buckhorn....I know.....such a Montana name but the food is amazing and my cousin is the cook (don't think they call 'em chefs up there.)

(Downtown Augusta, MT)

After our trip to August, we toured the Valley, seeing some familar "sights" along the way. Here is my high school. (Stop laughing).

And here is my Elementary School, which back in my day, was Kindergarten through 8th grade (now you're laughing even harder.....stop it.)
This is one of the "Three Sister Buttes" that exist in the area I grew up. This one is called Square Butte.

Think I'll end today's entry with a Montana sunset.
