Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch...

While Jordan was exploring the wilds of Montana, the kids and I had a good time at home.

We went on several walks along the River and managed to sight both water (seals) and air (eagles) creatures:

We also spent time at the beach looking for sea glass and other washed up treasures.  Annabel was on a role and found quite the cache!

Thane, however, preferred the slightly more active thrill of whizzing around on the newly repaired 4 wheeler.

Mountain Views

Jordan and his buddy just got back from a glorious hunting trip out west.  They logged over 6200 miles on the truck, but who cares when this is your view!

While they weren't successful in hunting, they had an amazing time hiking and enjoying the scenery.

Crossing the Missouri River (i.e. back to civilization) must have been a bit jarring, but we're glad to have them home.
