On Wednesday July 3, while we were in Bozeman we Hiked to the "M" there are no pictures, but my sister Stephanie and I carried Will and Elle in the Baby Bjorn's and took Hannah, Ava and Liana (my niece that is 4.5) on a 3 mile round trip hike to the M that is painted on the side of the mountain. All in all the hike went pretty well. The hike up all the kids did really well it wasn't until the way down that a couple of them started to lose it, but we made it and were pretty proud of ourselves when we finished. We bribed the older girls with ice cream so we stopped at Dairy Queen on our way home.

On Friday July 4th my four siblings and I along with our families and a cousin went to the Lewis and Clark Caverns. It is an amazing 2 mile 2 hour tour that takes you over 200 feet underground through caves where there are beautiful formations left by mineral deposits. All 5 kids all did great and were old enough to enjoy the caverns (we left the twins home with Grandma and Papa for this trip). As always all of the adults were amazed as well. On our way home Aaron and I along with Hannah, Ava and Liana stopped at an old homestead which is where the picture of the three of them was taken. While we were there the girls were playing with an old manual well pump which was all fun and games until Ava got knocked in the eye by the handle... ouch... It is now a very nice black eye!

That night we had a BBQ and watched fireworks. Elle slept through the fireworks but William watched from Grandma's lap very intently.
