A couple weekends ago the kids and I headed up to Montana for our annual March Madness Montana trip. Tyler gets a few days with no kids, no work, and as much basketball as he and Kendall can handle. The trip up was exhausting because I decided to leave at night in hopes the kids would sleep, but Ryder and Sawyer were just really fussy the whole way and then within 30 minutes of my parent's house Rilyn threw up. So, I pulled into Billings at 3 AM with 3 crying, tired, and gross kids.
Sawyer did enjoy helping me pack a.k.a unpack for our trip
The day after we arrived, we decided to take a trip to Bighorn National Canyon and do a little boating. The kids really wanted to try fishing and get some time on Papa's boat.
My dad did not think we would catch anything since he hasn't caught anything in this spot since he was a teenager, but it was a windy day and we needed to go somewhere where the wind wouldn't destroy us. Rilyn threw out her pole with Papa and Ryder with Grandma. Within 10 minutes Rilyn and Papa were pulling in a Brown Trout. I don't think she could have been more excited.
Rilyn had to show off her fish to her daycare friends the next day.
After the boat ride, the kids loved playing by the edge of the water and throwing stones in the water. Even Sawyer got to enjoy playing in the dirt.
I tried getting a picture of all three of them, but could not get them all to look at the camera since there were rocks within hands reach.
But we got some pictures on the dock that turned out pretty good.
It was a really fun day. My dad wanted to take the kids out again the next weekend, but since we planned on leaving for Colorado that next day I couldn't imagine boating all day the day before I did the drive. So, we will have to go next time we are in Montana.
If it's Ryder's turn to pray he is still thanking God for, "boating, having a snack on the boat, and catching a big big fish."
We are thankful for every day we get to spend with our families.

| Sawyer really hated the life jacket and really do you blame him? He also loves water and was not happy that he couldn't play in it. But he thought going really fast on the boat was awesome. |

I got Ryder to smile the first picture and that was it
Sawyer bites Rilyn
And she was not happy about it
Ryder and Rilyn are both looking but Ryder has drool coming out of his mouth
And after about 30 takes and still no luck I gave up
