Big Sky Montana

 Saturday, July 28th, 2012  Big Sky Montana

We slept in this morning, ate a big breakfast and went swimming.  I could REALLY get used to this routine!! :)  We left the hotel around 1pm and headed toward Bozman, Montana to get groceries.  Every family is in charge of a dinner for a night and then we are all bringing extra food to share.  We actually had a  lot of comments as we were trying to find place for our bags of grocery in our already full car.  Yep...we look like a circus sometimes.



Lone Mountain



Sky Haus



We only had an hour more to the Sky Haus in Big Sky and we arrived a little after 5pm.  The Minn. Barretts were there to greet us and we are so glad to be here.  The house is beautiful and the scenery is gorgeous.  Right out our front window is the Lone Mountain which is 11, 166 feet.  They tell me that some people are crazy enough to ski down that- NOT ME!!!!!  :)

Everyone arrived around 6:30-7pm, we ate a great dinner made by Rob and Jan and then afterwards, we went out for a walk to enjoy the evening air.  There are beautiful mountain flowers every where which Annika loved picking.  The kids climbed up mountains and we had contests to see who had a better aim and could hit a tree with a stone.  Before our walk, we did have a demonstration from Rob and Dave on what to do if we ran into a bear....I don't think there is much of a chance of us seeing ANY animals with the amount of noise that we all make but it was funny to watch!

We loved seeing the sun go down and are so enjoying all the beauty surrounding us.  When we got home, we enjoyed watching the Olympics and cheering on the USA. It is very nice to not have to pack our bags up in the morning but to be able to stay in one place for 5 days.  And yes, there are bears in this area...along with moose.  It will be fun to see what we can find while we are here.


Thank you Lord for sunsets and family!



We love the Montana silhouette!



Good Night Everyone!!!!
