Wearing a "cradle board" at the Louis and Clark Interpretive Center
One of the most exciting features of Montana, a tractor!
The Wallaces
We didn't make it to Montana this summer, so we drove up at the end of October. It's not a short drive, especially with an energetic 19-month old, so we made lots of stops (he ran up and down the aisles of several grocery stores and around some truck stops), and listened to the Doodlebops CD, and finally resorted to DVDs of Blues Clues and Milo and Otis. We got maybe an hour of napping out of 12 hours of driving (over a couple of days).
Once in Great Falls, we enjoyed days at the park, QT with Grandma and Grandpa, LOTS of TOYS and BOOKS, and just time away. Zach tried out his Halloween costume at a pumpkin patch, but because there was a magnetic tractor at the patch, we couldn't make him sit still near the pumpkins...Scott and Grandpa got a day of hunting in, and we all just marveled at Zach's go-go-go-ness.
On the way home, we stopped in Columbus, MT where Scott's aunt and uncle and grandma live. Zach had a good time running around the ranch that Uncle Butch runs. There was a TRACTOR there! And cows and horses and dogs...The ranch used to belong to Mel Gibson.
