We left bright and early Friday morning for our 2 day trip to Eastern Montana. The first day we stopped in Idaho Falls to eat a picnic lunch at a park right across the road from the Idaho Falls Temple. After the kids ate they got to play on the playground for a while, while I fed Brynley.
She was so happy to be out of her car seat.
Our final destination for the day was Bozeman, MT. We pulled into town at about 6pm. So we went to dinner first then checked into our hotel. This was Madison's 2nd time in a hotel and Zachary and Brynn's first!
Relaxing after a long day in the car!
The next day we had about 5 hours in the car. We stopped in Billings and Miles City for little breaks before heading into Glendive, Montana, the sight for this years McDowell Reunion 2011.
The reunion was up at Makoshika State Park in a lodge. It was really hot but really fun. We played lots of games, and caught up on everyone's lives.
Most of the day it was so hot, it was torture to hold Brynley. We were sweating just sitting there. So when she fell asleep we put her in the travel bed!
Brynley and her cousin Bailey had matching beds! Most of the time it was slightly cooler outside so this is where the girls slept!
Madison and Ashlyn became good friends by the end of the week. She is actually 1 month and one day older that Zach, she preferred to play princesses over cars!!
Just hanging out on the deck in the early evening!
It's a tradition at the reunions to take a family picture! The only one not there was our brother in law Rick. Isn't the view amazing?
I just love this picture of Ryleigh! Her hair was so wild because of the humidity!
Well that ends the first few days of Montana. More to come including Bison!
