Montana Summer Adventure 2013

 

This summer, we broke up our summer trip to MT a little bit differently.  Sean and Caelan took off a week earlier so that Sean could work on rebuilding the deck up at the cabin.  Brennan and I stayed behind because he was in a dance camp that week from 9-4 daily.  Then, Brennan and I flew into Helena to meet up with the everyone. 

Right after we got off the plane we headed to the house in the valley to feed the horses.  Little sister happily adopted the boots and cowboy hat that seem to no longer fit brother.

She was not the least bit intimidated to get up on that big horse.  She absolutely loved it!

Below, Brennan is getting back up on the horse after it got spooked by a butterfly and jumped a little and he fell off.  Here is making friends with it again.  He did a remarkable job of holding on, sliding off, and then getting out of the way when he needed to.

This is her face after being told it was time to get off the horse.  But, everyone was getting sooo hot – it was 90+ plus that day.

That night we went to a Symphony Concert on the lawn at Carroll College.

Jack really wanted to try this wine from his nephew’s winery…..technically it is not ‘ready’ yet, but we both thought it was pretty good.  It will be even better in a few months.

This is the project that Brennan worked on while Sean was working on the deck.  Quite a masterpiece…..

One night after dinner we decided to venture out and go fishing.  This was taken from the back of grandpa’s truck.  A pretty decent ‘selfie’ of the two of us.
