Okay, here we see my newest nephew: Bridger. Caitlin heard the name and liked it, but her friend who originally used the name got it from a mountain man named Jim Bridger who spent a lot of his time trapping and exploring out west, and there's a Fort Bridger somewhere near the Wyoming border.
Geocaching our way up to Montana: great way to get out and stretch our legs, plus we love finding 'treasures!'
Walker pointed out this very vintage flag, and I loved that the building looked vintage, too ;) We probably passed it at least 6 times walking, and another 5 or 6 driving back and forth from our hotel to the pedestrian mall in Helena
Kids running up to the Montana State Capitol, where we had an excellent tour guide [Dallas, if you can believe it] who gave us some wonderful stories about the history of the structure.
Jared bravely fording a little creek on one of our exploring/geocaching treks:
I was so busy trying to get the camera timer to work that I forgot I was wearing sunglasses LOL. This is at the beginning of our hike up to the top of Mt Helena:
Okay, last one: the kids in front of Cistern Spring at Yellowstone National Park. Of course, they're just beyond thrilled that I am once again taking their pictures >:O
We made it home about 4:30am Sunday morning [we tried to see more things than we really had time for]. Today has been full of exciting adventures in laundry, and cleaning out the car LOL.

The last picture of the kids really cracked me up. They look just like my girls on some of our trips at that age.
Looks like a wonderful trip, with lots of great adventures.
Wonderful family vacation. They will have such great memories. I hope they know how lucky they are to have such cool, outdoorsy parents.
Loved seeing all the pics:) You have a great sense of humor too...laundry the "exciting adventure" lol!
