Montana: Family, mountains, more family, lots of miles and food, food, food!

4,000 miles in these seats, here we come! Kids did a fantastic job on the road. Zac already at 18 states before he's 1. Ali at 20. Soon they can pack and carry their own bags. Til then, we'll stick to pacifiers and Elmo.



Mt. Helena on a beautiful evening... including a picnic on the way down. Ali wanted to 'walk' it back down, but both the temptation to just lay on the trail and a later spill caused her to hop back in the backpack.











Common scenes... working in the garden, trying to understand Kirby, Zac seeking Grandma, malts, etc.








Playing in the sprinkler and makin' cookies!






Two Helena staples... L&D and the carousel!





Ali got a Montana birthday party too (two). Ali still doesn't like a mess, Mickey's the choice, and Alyssa works with Zac.






Out at Rimini cookin', eatin' and playin' as a rainbow in the Rockies smiles at us.







And a short swing through Janesville, USA and the home of Andy's fam. We see Etch-a-Sketch fever, Nina giving Zac some serious pointers on walking and Nichole being so sweet to me.
