Fishing

The boys love to go fishing!! We went to a lake up in Red Lodge, Montana called Wild Bill Lake just a couple of weeks ago. It is a beautiful small secluded lake in the mountains and they stock this lake with fish so it is a super spot to help the boys perfect their fishing skills. I do believe that Cooper and Parker both caught 3 fish each!!

Little Big Horn Battlefield

Today we took the boys to the Little Big Horn Battlefield. We drive by it every time we make the trip from Casper to Billings. The boys have been begging to stop so we did. Since Parker is almost 10 he has learned a little bit about the battle and was curious about General Custer. We walked the trail and viewed the site where Custer fell and other soldiers by his side. There is a lot of history in that area and hopefully the boys received a little bit of insight as to what really happened in that area so long ago!

Father's Day Tornado

Wow....is really all I can say! We lived in Iowa....tornado alley....and never had a tornado touch down so close with so much destruction as we did in Billings, Montana. I am thankful that everyone remained safe....all a little scared and shook up though. My poor mom had a basement flooded and a virtual river through her yard and my little car was pelted with golf ball size hail. Definitely one for the memory books! The pictures are of the back window of my car and the inches and inches of mud deposited in my mom's yard!!
