Big Sky Country

After spending our first day in Montana, my kids asked if we could live here permanently. It really is gorgeous. I was thinking….ya, that would be awesome, but then I remembered what the winters are like…and on second thought……..no thanks. My husband would argue that – he tells me we would move back in a heartbeat….hummmmm.

But July in Montana is heavenly…..and the cabin resort we stayed at was top notch. There were pine trees everywhere…green grass….and the deer would just walk by you only a few feet away. We loved it. And to top it off, together with cousins and extended family was marvelous.

This is the pond just down the hill from our cabin…..

But who needs a pond when we have an indoor pool and Jacuzzi….

Usually, one the best things about a reunion is the food….this one was no exception!

And cousin Leona did not disappoint on the last night with a luau theme….Josh was so afraid of the roasted pig!

And after the auction and dinner we thought the fun was over…but NO WAY….Leona whips out her cotton candy machine. WOO HOO! After cotton candy was the marshmallow roasting and making smores. Forget about trying to get the kids to bed at a decent time with such a sugar high – and it doesn’t help the sun doesn’t go down until 10pm. Oh well, we’re on vacation, afterall.
