This weekend we took a little road trip to the Montana Vortex. It was a great trip over to northwestern Montana, and a lot of fun. I've got the pictures up over at dropshots- the link is over on the right side bar.
We made the trip exactly one week after my sister and her family went. We were all quite mystified (with a grain of salt)! On her recommendation we also stayed at a Holiday Inn with a water slide that the boys found endlessly entertaining. In fact, Ben wants to spend each and every day of next summer vacation at that hotel!
Our trip back was unfortunately rainy, so we skipped going to see the Swinging bridge that the Green's also recommended. We'll have to do that as a day trip another time.
The kids did well on the car trip, with Ben reading quite a bit to Sam. If Sam wasn't occupied though, he worked on his new found talent: annoying repetitive noises. (I should have gotten some video of that- but I was worried I would just encourage him!) He perfected the noises that can be made while sticking your tongue out repetitively (lal-lal-lallal) and invented songs "its getting bigger- its getting bigger! whoa, oh- its getting bih- ihg- ger!". Try that times 500 (and don't ask what's getting bigger- we don't know!). Ryan seemed to have quite a high tolerance for this and kept our car on the road, doing Montana speeds. (No, I won't be reporting actual numbers- you know what I mean!)
We are now home, getting ready for the weekly grind. Hope you had a great weekend, too!
