So I know I have been a MAJOR blog slacker and I thought I would share with you some of my favorite things we did in Montana this summer! (wont all fit in one blog so keep checking back)
 |
| Matt & I about to hit the road! |
We stayed in Missoula the entire time except when we were at
the lake! (get to that in a minute). So we drove everywhere else for day trips
(we are a little crazy!) Our first day trip was to Philipsburg, MT.
 |
| A whimsy coffee shop in the town |
Its a cute
little town (no stop lights). It has a theatre and its right outside of a ski
resort. One of its most popular attractions is panning for sapphires (I have
never done it, but hope so one day)
 |
| The amazing architecture |
When we go to Philipsburg we love to just visit the shops and take in all the beautiful architecture this little town has. We also had lunch at the local soda shop.
But no stop in Philipsburg is complete with out a trip to the world famous Sweet Palace! They sell fudge and make old fashioned salt water taffy (which they have one whole wall dedicated to just taffy). They have a sugar free section, a hard candy section, gummy section, jelly belly section, and way to much to count! We usually spend $40 - $70 at the Sweet Palace (its where we get our souvenirs!)
 |
| Matt & I ready to get our loot! |
 |
| Our Goods! |
After a few days in Missoula we packed up the car again and
went on another road trip to Flat Head Lake! Specifically Big Arm, MT! Here we
spent 4 days with no cell service or TV just books, food, family (all 42 of
us), and all the lake has to offer!
 |
| The Main House |
 |
| The Bunk House, Water Slide, Fire Pit |
 |
| The rest of the dock and boat house |
 |

| Our sunset! |
 |
| Emma & I getting ready to go tubing! |
 |
| Relaxing before our wild ride (after a long CRAZY ride Emma did a back flip out and landed in the lake) |
 |
| We like to boat, kayak, swim, ride jet skis, float! |
 |
| About to go for a dive! |
 |
| Getting ready for a boat ride! |
 |
Inter tubing! We only had 2 dislocated fingers and dislocated toes in the whole 4 days (I think that's pretty good!)
|
 |
| Another AMAZING sunset! |
 |
| Every night ended with a fire and talking and we were lucky enough to have a night of singing and a guitar playing! |
 |
| And of course we always had SMORES! |
 |
| Hubby & I packing up to head to one more reunion and 2 more weddings and only 3 days left of vacation! |
 |
| There is nothing like this place! Its magical! |
