Labor day weekend we were able to take our first road trip with Brayden. We headed up to Montana to see my Aunt Lori. We left Friday evening thinking it would be best so Brayden would sleep most of the ride. It took us 12 hours and Brayden only had 1 breakdown during the ride that only lasted about 20 minutes. We arrived about 6:30 on saturday morning. Our first day there we stayed pretty low key because, yes, Gary and I were exhausted. We went to the Farmers Market in town and then walked around downtown Bozeman. It was a beautiful day. Our next day we went for a small, hike/walk in Three Forks. It's where 3 rivers meet to make the Missouri River. Lewis and Clark had also stopped here. It was very pretty but also very cold. On Labor day my mom and Jerry flew in and we drove to some old ghost towns. It was cool to see the old homes and to see how the pioneers lived back in those days. Made me thankful for what I have now and where I live. Tuesday my mom and Jerry drove with us to Yellowstone. It was so beautiful. We saw lots of animals and so much beautiful scenery. It's not pictured but we did get to see a bear right outside of Yellowstone as we headed home. Wednesday we went for another hike to Hyalite. We got to check out some really pretty waterfalls and then on the way back down it decided to downpour. It was still a very pretty hike.
Thursday Gary and I drove home and went back through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Brayden stayed back with Grammy and Grandpa so he could fly home on Friday with them and wouldn't have to sit in the car again. He did so good all week. We had so much fun and I'm so glad Brayden got to meet his Great Aunts! Thank you Lori and Deb for once again showing us a fantastic time in Big Sky Montana!!! We had tons of fun!
