More Montana Fun

We went to Montana last week and had a great time spending time with family. We now have a new appreciation for 40 degree temperatures. Little Man did great on the plane rides, especially on the first flight because he had his own TV screen and could change channels. This was his first flight being in his own seat and he loved telling everyone on the plane… own seat, no lap… He’s getting to be WAY too big!

Of course our first activity when we arrived was to attend a wedding of someone we have never met (and since it's a small town, we were able to fit in and wear our best pair of jeans for the occasion)…. But it was a beautiful ceremony and Little Man had fun taking center stage
Here’s a picture of Taylor and her best friend Sophie
And of course Little Man wanted to sit with Pa….
Besides the stirring of the various bread batters, tortillas, and desserts, we did venture outside for some snow sports. It was quite the process to get everyone suited up for the below zero temperatures outside (of course the day before when we were relaxing inside the high was 40). I have to say Little Man and Big Man are ready for the cover of Sledding Times.....
The four wheeler was the main attraction at first…
Check out this four wheeler fun....

And then add one tube
Since we had so much fun in the driveway, we decided to venture to the moutain and try some real sledding action…. Again...we went on the day that it was 6 below zero… that’s without wind chill, so we had the entire mountain to ourselves. Native Montanas must have been more interested in sitting in front of the fire, but the sledding was worth the trip :) Here's a shot from the top of the mountain.

Big Man and Little Man went tubing first...

Once the run was a bit more slick Big Man decided to start the run at the top of the hill (of course Little Man sat this one out)

And a Montana post would not be complete without the family portrait and a picutre showing the pure joy on Taylor's face as Big and Little Man try to lay on her.
