Montana

With Anton working so much in Montana, we decided it would be a fun tradition to start spending some time in the summer up there. I was kind of anxious about going because I love my summer months in Salt Lake so much, but in the end, it was so much fun. It was so great to get away from obligations at home, and really spend quality time with my little family. I am really sad because my phone broke, and there was no way to turn it back on and retrieve all the pictures I took. We had so much fun going to splash pads, hikes, swimming, spending time at their amazing library, kayaking, horse back riding, and best of all...4th of July celebrations! We went to the fair grounds and listened to the symphony and watched the firework display. It was the first time my girls have ever been to a big firework show, and they LOVED it! Lilly kept oohing, ahhing and clapping! It was so darling! Another favorite thing we did was put the girls in Riding Lessons. Lilly wasn't great about listening to the teacher, and surprisingly crazy Claire was the opposite. She did amazing! She really listened, and did everything that the teacher asked of them. It was so cute to see them carry the saddles and brush and feed the horses....they looked so little carrying those heavy things around! We will absolutely be putting them in the Horse Camp next summer. We were so impressed with the lady that runs it, and the girls had a great time. Montana seems like it is a much slower pace than Salt Lake, which was a nice change. I am really looking forward to spending more time there!
