Big Sky Country

The girls returned Wednesday from a week long visit to Montana. They had a fantastic time visiting family in the Helena area, and for two "big city girls" it was quite a pleasant change of pace.

Here are just a few of the over 600 pictures they took while they were there. (They take after their Mom when it comes to taking pictures!)

Bear and Pickle at Giant Springs, a fish hatchery near Great Falls, and one of my favorite places from my childhood.

Some of the awesome wildlife they saw - this trio was in a neighbor's front yard, eating apples off her tree

A view of the "Sleeping Giant" - can you see it in the background? His head is in the center of the picture, his chest is to the left.
