In June, I went to Montana for a work conference. Kevin and the girls decided to tag along. We drove up along the Lochsa river. It is such a beautiful drive. The girls were dying to throw a fishing line in. Kevin was showing them each how to cast. I think we only snagged one tree in the process. Not too bad.
I had a conference in Columbia Falls. While I was at the conference, Kevin took the girls around the area and showed him some places from his childhood.
Glacier Bible Camp is where Kevin used to go as a kid. His grandparents used to go to a senior camp there every year as well. Kevin would tag along and hang out with his grandpa.
He also took them to the Hungry Horse Dam (not pictured).
There is a Mystery House in the area. I went to one of these with my cousin Ron in Santa Cruz. They are a lot of fun. They use optical illusions to 'defy gravity'. The girls struck up a conversation with the couple that runs the attraction.
They had a lot of fun trying everything out.
Sidney could not believe how this broom could stand on its' own.
Kendall packed for the trip with all of her Cal Poly gear, apparently so did her Dad. The girls and Kevin ran around dressing up every grizzly bear they could find in Cal Poly gear!
I am pretty certain we had ice cream every day of the trip!
We decided to stay over for the weekend. We drove over to Seely and met Roy and Sherry at their cabin. Kevin and Roy got in as much fishing as they possibly could. Or should I say - they attempted to catch fish:) However, Roy did manage to catch himself a turtle.
While the boys were fishing, Sherry, the girls and I spent some time in Seely. One of the shop owners told us about 'Gus' the largest Western Larch in the United States. Gus was huge. Gus had many burn marks and battle wounds. The four of us could not even join hand around the tree.
It was an amazing week of work and play!
