Field Trip

Kaleb walks down the trail from the charcoal kilns

Montana History

Charcoal kilns located up Camp Creek (near Melrose, MT). Kilns were used in the 1890's for slowly burning wood to make charcoal to fire the smelter for the silver ore mining in the area. Very fascinating day trip & learning of the area's history is very cool!

Playing dress up is fun for all ages!

Oh What Fun...

Camping over the 4th of July up Mill Creek in the Tobacco Roots was a blast for all of us. Kaleb's first camping adventure proved to be a big hit and by the end of each day I was wiping layers of dirt off him. He played so hard around camp. We took a ride up to Branahm Lakes in Gramma and Papa's jeep, but couldn't break through the last 200 feet through the deep snow banks. It was beautiful with all the wildflowers in bloom even though we didn't get to see the high lakes.
Eric took a hike and saw lots of sign of bear. We played lots of washers and the winners (Eric and my dad) boasted about their triumph for hours.
Sunday we headed down the mountain and up to Virginia City to play toursists for the afternoon. He saw the restored and operating steam engine traveling from Virginia City to Nevada City and hit the candy store. We also got an old time family photo taken. See the picture of the picture for a good laugh!! Notice the pistol Kaleb is holding.

The candy store was a hit - of course!
