Montana Fun!!
We went to Montana a couple of weeks ago and had so much fun!! This is Rick with Ash and Brad. Ashton loved the sea doo. Brad warmed up and decided that he liked it too. Burke sitting on the slide that comes off the dock!

Brax climbing up the slide!

Uncle Ryan with Ashton and Bradley. They love his canoe!

Ellie, Aunt Leah and Briar sitting and relaxing on the dock.

Ashton waiting for a ride.

The lake is cold so the kids often came out to warm up. I love this picture of Landon. He is so cute and the sky looks perfect!!

All the kids on the dock. Brad, Landon, Burke, Dalin, Briar, Logan, Braxton, Ellie, Haley, Emily, Ashton.

I'm so glad I took this pic because I would have forgotten this moment. These four were so cute! They collected all kinds of rocks and made piles and piles. We all had to climb around them, but they had so much fun!

Ryan and Leah work at a fancy resort restaurant and the adults went one night for the yummiest food! It was so, so much fun. Ryan was working, so he took great care of us. We all loved it!!

Huckleberry Picking
We went up Crane Mountain to pick Huckleberries this year which we haven't done before and it was so fun! I loved it! It is hard because the berries are small and down low, but we all had a lot of fun.
Briar and Emily ready to pick. I love Em's scarf.

Haley workin' it!

This is my only group shot of anyone. We were all spread out picking in our own spots. If there were any bear's in the area, we were plenty loud to scare them off.

Em looking lovely!

Ash with two very small berries.

Lisa in her element. She is the expert picker.

Ricky in the sweet spot he found. There were berries everywhere.

Bradley was the cutest. He got excited over every little berry he found. He would pick them so carefully and put them in our bag. It was great to watch his excitement.

Beautiful view from where we picked. This is the Swan River that we float. This was such a great activity and we got lots of delicious jam.

Cherry Picking!!
Friday we went cherry picking and it was great! The orchard was full of trees that looked like this. There were cherries everywhere just waiting for the picking.
The farmer who owns the orchard is in Lisa's ward and he and his family were so kind to us. This is how they transport all the picked cherries.

They had this awesome truck and he drove us up through the orchard to our picking spot. It was a fun little ride.

Braxton couldn't wait to get in the tree and start picking!

Ash liked to pick as well. He liked being high on the ladder.

Ellie reluctantly poured her hard earned cherries into the bin with all the others.

Burke and Landon- the cherry eaters.

Briar, Brad, and Ash having fun together.

Ellie loved this cherry. It was shaped like a heart and half pink and half red. She saved that one for herself, and I'm not sure what happened to it.

Break time.

Bradley and Papa. Brad loved to be on the ladder. He was such a good helper!

Landon put in as many cherries as he could. This is one of my favorite pics from the day. It is great! If he had his two front teeth three wouldn't have fit.

Just my kids sitting on the dock.
