Happy Memorial Day!


We traveled south for the weekend to see Colter and Larkin.  It had rain/snowed all day in Bozeman.  We went on to Red Lodge on Saturday morning, only to find several inches on the ground in town, over a foot of new snow up on the mountains, and still snowing.  They couldn't open the Beartooth Highway with the weather.  We drove up to the gate to have a look anyway.
And then we had an opportunity for family photos.

We drove up the ski area road and found it gated as well.  Colter, Alli and Warren hiked on up and took a run--pretty rocky with no base.  

We enjoyed a good dinner and a swim at the motel.  After church the next morning, we checked the road status, and the Highway had opened partially.  We headed up again, and the  following photos show you where our brave bunch skinned/hiked up and had a thrilling run down while I played photographer.



 We celebrated Warren's birthday with another good dinner back in Bozeman.  On Monday we toured Colter's research lab and shopped at REI in Bozeman, then had another good visit with Larkin as we returned her back to Missoula.  What an awesome family visit!!

  1. Hey mom! What a great post. You are becoming a good blogger. Next challenge: figure out how to leave a Caption on a photo. In the edit mode, click on the uploaded picture and some options will come up: position (left, right, center), size, etc. Caption is one of them. That way you can essentially label each picture and then move them around to where you want in the context of your written text telling the story of your adventure.

  2. Oh, I suppose you will have to figure out how to moderate comments too. You're doing great!
