Family Vacay

It all started with a New Year's Resolution to go on an adventure together.  We decided white water rafting would be fun, and it just so happens that Michael's good friend Jeff is a pro!  So, we headed to Montana for a visit.  

Montana was really beautiful and the weather was perfect.  We were so blessed to stay with Jeff and Lyndsay for 4 days.  They had an action packed weekend planned for us.  The first day we hiked up to a waterfall in the morning and then headed home to get ready for white water rafting.  Jeff took all three of us down the Galatin River on a two man duckie.  It was amazing!  I can't wait to do it again.  Michael had the hardest run and they both took a spill, but managed to keep it together and finish in one piece.  On the 4th, we rented a 14 ft. raft and floated down the Madison River.  It was really relaxing and peaceful, and Caden caught his first fish!  When we got home, we had our very own firework show, which I'm pretty sure was Caden's favorite part of the whole trip.  Jeff surprised him with a Grand Finale and he went nuts!

After we said our goodbyes to Jeff and Lindsay, we headed off to Yellowstone and on the way we met up with the Chop's.  We had a great time camping and touring Yellowstone together.

The last leg of the trip was spent in Vegas...but of course.  No better way to end a family vacay!  We stayed at the Hard Rock for two days and soaked up the sun, while Caden took full advantage of the water slide.

It was a great trip, and I'm so thankful that we got to go.  We'll remember it forever!

Oh yea, and we're having a baby!!!!!  We found out on our trip.  How cool is that?  We're so excited!!!!
