Big Sky Montana

In August we went on another amazing trip with Todd's family up to Big Sky, Montana. It's a beautiful little ski resort town just 45 minutes past West Yellowstone. We've gone a few times now and LOVE it! We were in the same house as last year and had some exciting bear sightings just up the street from us. When we arrived they told us to make sure and lock our car doors as the bears had been OPENING them if unlocked! How scary is that? You can bet we were all on high alert after hearing that—we didn't want them opening the doors to the house too.

We had delicious food and all sorts of yummy snacks while we were there, as well as days full of fun activities. We hiked to Ousel Falls (a family favorite!), we drove into Yellowstone (not so much a favorite—we were in the cars for 12 hours that day and we did not see ONE buffalo the whole time!), we had a girl's night in Bozeman complete with pedicures and dinner, and the last day of the trip was river rafting with another bear sighting. Needless to say, we had so much fun! Izzie loved playing with all the "big" girls and running around the house with her cute little cousins. Every night she was just exhausted and went to sleep within minutes of laying down.

We tried to take pics, but this is about all we got. Todd asked why we never take pictures anymore and my answer was that we are each always holding or chasing a baby! Hopefully we will start doing better soon!

Curtis took this family pic of everyone. Turned out super cute!
