Spring Break--Great Falls, MT


We ended up in Great Falls because Mike had to teach an ATLS class there for two days. We went to the Lewis and Clark Discovery Center and the CM Russell Museum. Both were absolutely fantastic. In fact, I think Montana might have the best museums in the nation! These are the kids dressed in period Lewis and Clark costumes. They had a great time while Mike and I read every plaque in the joint! I think Great Falls would be a nice place to visit in the summer. The river is right there and there seems to be a lot of outdoor activities. We saw a guy kayaking in the freezing cold river while it was snowing and the wind chill was -12! We did see the movie, "Coraline" while we were there. We enjoyed it.

Though the weather was bitterly cold, we did have a great time. I always enjoy spending time with my family. They are soooo funny, and fun! We sent a postcard to Emily everyday from every museum that we attended. We had a good time picking out the postcards and sticking our attendance stickers on them.

Panning to the right. Continuing to the right. The sewing machine right next to the door.  The ironing board stored.   Super comfy fainting couch.  Perfect for napping while I watch TV. The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceili...

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
