Montana Trip 2010

Montana Trip 2010
July 3rd - 13th

We just got back from our yearly trip back to Montana, and this year's trip was by far the best one yet!

We were able to spend more time with our families since we were in Montana for 10 days. The first half of our trip was spent in our hometown, Glendive, over the 4th of July weekend with my family. We had an amazing time eating, watching the parade and fireworks, and just enjoying each other's company.

The next weekend we attended the Madler Family Reunion at Fort Peck in honor of Chuck's Grandma Madler. All four of Grandma Madler's children and spouses were in attendance. Along with all of her grandchildren and 16 of the 21 great-grandchildren!! Logan had the best time of his life. He LOVED hanging out with all his cousins, 'driving' the boat, swimming in the lake, making smores, and being loved on by all his aunts and uncles (great-aunts and great-uncles too!).

We had such an amazing time with both sides of our family and it felt somewhat bittersweet to come back to Arizona. We miss our families so much!!


Logan's new Montana shirt!
(It fits him perfectly!)


I understand now why Montana is called "The Last Best Place"


Green fields and blue skies as far as the eye can see!!



Grandma and Logan playing in the race car


This little wooden race car my Dad made me when I was about Logan's age


Blowing Mommy kisses before he drives off


Having fun outside




Uncle Cody was teaching Logan all about fireworks



After a full day of playing outside, Logan cooled off in the pool Grandma bought him....
Montana style....
NAKED!!






Watching the 4th of July parade with Grandma

It was Logan's very 1st parade so he was absolutely enthralled that people actually threw candy to him. What a concept! ;-)


I couldn't get enough of the big blue skies


Makoshika State Park







Our vacation was definitely one to remember!

It was full of fun and laughter and memories that we will never forget!
