last big trip

We took our last big trip to Montana last week.  I guess the summer season is almost over. 

We started out taking a day trip to Virginia City.  We had fun exploring the old buildings, looking for garnets at Ruby Reservoir and riding the train to Nevada City. 

After that, we did some playing at the cabin with cousins. 

The saga of the cowboy boots.  First, we bought the boots, then we played in the boots.  Last, we took a bike ride in the boots, where the boots and the little boy foot got stuck in the spokes of the bike tire.  The foot survived, the boots didn’t. 

Needless to say, we had to buy another pair of boots. 

 

Then we took a trip to Jackson to visit our buddies, the Darnells.  We haven’t been to Jackson in a long time and it was fun.  Mary and the girls definitely showed us a good time!

Back to the cabin after that where we enjoyed the dirt, dole whips at the Playmill Theatre, mining for gold up the creek, the sand box, and friends!
