Shootin', Swimin', Fishin' in Montana

4 lb. Rainbow Trout, Sara was the first one to catch a fish. Daddy will be proud!
It all started when Payson came running up the porch telling us that he found a snake, he was a little shook up but trying to be so brave. Shane got his gun out and shot 3 times.



For the next few days the boys set up targets and Uncle Shane and Uncle Josh helped them shoot and also let them shoot a 22 and 12 guage shot gun for the first time.


A few of us girls just had to give it a try too!

On the way to swim in the Flathead River

Kate was so helpful with baby Jessi who was only one month old.

Uncle Shane, Kaden, Brenan and Quinn took a 2 hour float trip down the river on two air mattresses. Sorry Uncle Tom & Aunt Dana it seems that the boys got a few small holes and didn't know it until the next morning after sleeping on it...flat as a pancake.









The boys worked hard cleaning all the fish we caught that day and then Grandma showed them how to fry them up. I smell a Merit badge.....


It's always hard to say goodbye when leaving Grandma & Grandpas. See you next year!
