River and park fun

Playing down by the Clark Fork River 

Corben loves all the river rocks! 

Corben getting really good at casting his line out.....we were not very successful with catches this time.   Once the Aquilios find some great fishing spots, we might have to make another attempt. 

Feeding bread to the ducks 

Smoke Jumpers....and Elk Reserve

Pop and Nonie arrived for part of our stay in Montana.

The kids were so excited to see them!

Hiking to the "M"

Near the University of Montana....there is a huge cement M on the side of one mountain 

Caleb and I hiked up all 13 switchbacks and then a little further.....Caleb's parents watched the kids early one morning so we could hike together!

I am sitting on the top of one corner of the M 

Corben and the cousins sent us a picture of them waving to us when we were at the top....so we took a picture to send back to the kids.
