A Little Trip

So, this last weekend we travelled to Bozeman for a little recreating with Auntie Ann and Uncle John...we saw waterfalls, ate dinner in a bar, swam in a pool, and shopped a little.

On Saturday afternoon, after a delicious lunch of tacos specially made for us by Ann, we packed into our Dodge Grand Caravan and drove to Big Sky. We hiked on a really nicely groomed trail to this:

Ousel Falls

It was only about a mile or so from our vehicle and the kids did great. They got a little tired on the way back, though.

Thank goodness for Uncle John!

We were all starving after our hike so we decided to have dinner at The Corral...a little bar/restraunt up the road from Big Sky. The food was great! We drove back into Bozeman and checked into our motel. Despite the late hour (it was 9:00, which is late to me!), we spent some time in the pool for a bit, watched a little Toy Story, and then tucked everybody into bed. For some reason, I thought it would be a great idea to share a bed with Megan and Kellan and give Marc and Jacksen their own bed. I don't know what I was thinking...that was a terrible idea! After repeatedly getting hit in the head, I finally decided to join Marc and Jacksen...sometime around 1:30 in the morning. Let's just say it wasn't a really restful night for anybody.

After a refreshing 8:30 am swim for Marc, Megan and Kellan, we ate a quick breakfast, made a quick stop at Murdoch's for some new boots for Megan, and then met John and Ann for our next adventure. We drove through Hialite Canyon and then hiked to Palisade Falls...

After all of this exercise, I still had enough energy to hit a great sale at Old Navy. Then we drove home and went to a birthday party...and we all slept like logs last night!
