Montana Summer

We had a stupendous July. Fun and adventures too numerous to mention them all,but here are a few favorites we wanted to share. We travelled to Helena for our annual month in Montana on June 25th. From there we spent time in both Glacier and Yellowstone National parks, and Zachary jetted off with Grandma Dawn and Old Mike for the trip of his life to Costa Rica. The whole Little clan, "party of 20" joined us for a Glacier Park adventure and we were so thrilled to get to share "our Montana" with them. Throughout the month of July, we hiked, biked, swam, learned to sew with Great Grandma, took tennis lessons and spent lots of time with our family. Grandpa Steve treated us to fun days at the ranch,a trip to the Missouri river, and driving lessons for Lauren and Zachary. With warm days, cool nights and so many good friends and fabulous family members, Montana truly is our favorite place in the world.
