Big Horn Trip...

This trip is looking like it may become a yearly vacation! We went to Montana with David's family this last weekend. This was a birthday trip for Kurt and also his brother Ron since they don't get together to often. We started out the trip with papa Chet staying the night with us on Tuesday night and then packing up the next morning and starting the trek! We drove him all over town doing last minute errands and then we were off- good thing he was patient cause I was starting to go nuts!Tank and me got bored in the back seat driving for so long! We only drove to Douglas, Wyoming to papa's brother Uncle Ron's house which was only a few hours away. He took care of us overnight until we left the next morning to meet mom & Kurt in Casper. There we had a long stop at Sams Club and enjoyed a long lay over in Walmart! Don't you worry, Kurt found some black storage boxes for $2.50 and you better believe he cleaned out there stock! Gotta love him! So, after our long stop we got on the road again and continued on to Montana. We got to stay in a nice little cabin with an awesome view of the river. It was high class compared to our trailer homes we stayed in last year! haha We got in some good quality time of doing nothing! We met Kurt's parents (Denny and Shirley) and his brother (Ron) and his 2 kids (Cort & Cambell) up there as well. The next day we were there it rained and poured all day and was really cold. Me, David, Kurt and Denny wussed out and didn't join the crazies on the river, but David and Kurt joined Ron- half way down the river after everyone else bailed! Did I mention that David couldn't wait to enjoy his birthday gift to himself?! You cant really see it, but you can enjoy how cute he looks in his waders! He bought a new fly rod before we left and he was as giddy as school boy to use it! While David was wading out in the water fishing he slipped and went completely under water filling his waders with water! Luckily Ron had some extra clothes for him to borrow for the rest of the float down the river! He was definitely frozen for the rest of the float down the river! That night we also celebrated Kurt's and Ron's birthday and I made the cake! Everyone LOVED IT! They couldn't believe that it was a box cake and super moist! Mom would be proud!!

We enjoyed the rest of the night just hanging out! HaHa hopefully the Birthday boy Kurt doesn't mind that this is the only pic I have of him! The next day was so nice and warm we floated all day on the river. David rowed me, Tank and Ron's 2 kids in one boat and everyone else was in the other 2 boats. We got to rent 2 kids for the day which was quite the adventure! I didn't catch a single fish the whole time because I was helping the 2 little ones try to fish and tried not to get caught myself! Cort was probably the most dangerous because he wanted to do most of the fishing! Cambell enjoyed helping David row the boat for the first half of the day. Dont they look cute together! While she was captaining the boat David caught a few fish and then Cort rowed the second half of the day. David again caught a few more fish as well! Everyone that fly fished caught fish the whole time unlike us spin fisherman! And of course when you can't catch fish why not have a photo shoot! There of course were lots more pics taken and I have put in a request to get those, so once I do I will add some more!

Overall it was a good day of catchin' fish as well as a few sun rays! I love being able to get together and just hang out! Of course the fun had to end and the next morning we packed up to leave and drive home!
We got to come home and unpack and wash everything and then repack everything for David to go out of town Monday morning for the week for work. It was a busy weekend for sure!
