Montana 2010

We went with Uncle Ty to the Yellowstone River to try and catch ourselves some fish. I got to ride in THE FRONT SEAT, and that made all the difference in the world!

Here I am casting a line, but the fishing wasn't good, so we spent some time wading in the river, repairing the boat motor, and getting ourselves off sandbars. Just joking with you Uncle Ty, I had a blast.

It was pretty warm in Billings, so we spent lots of time in the water. We found this park that had some fun water geysers.

I had fun running around chasing baby sister.


Here we are on Julie-Lulie's porch swing getting ready for some more swimming, and some yummy turkey dinner.

Aunt Julie Lulie got out the car wash again for us this year. Baby Merritt got to drive the Razor through the carwash.

Here is a picture of my dad rescuing my cousin Jessie after she fell in the pool. Thanks for helping her dad.


I guess they wear funny looking swimming trunks in Montana, huh Cousin Jessie?





We had some pretty fun days, and now we were winding down reading some books before bed.

One day we went to Red Lodge to have fun exploring. Here we are playing in Aunt Julie-Lulie's and Uncle Jim's front yard at their cabin.

We took a trip up the Beartooth Pass. There was an amazing view of the entire valley, and a HUGE field at the top where I could run and play. We made it all the way to Wyoming, and new state for me and my baby sister...

...and lickity split, we were back in Montana!

The Montana Fair was in Billings. Here I am with dad on the bumper cars.

and I rode the Ferris Wheel with mom.

I got to drive an Air Force helicopter with mom.

I drove Richard Petty's race car.

I got behind the controls of a steam engine.

We also got cowboy and cowgirl hats!

We had a fun time in Montana! Thanks family for making it such a fun time for all of us.
