A little taste of Montana

Well everyone here is a little taste of Montana. This last week has been a little crazy so we haven't been able to go out exploring much, so Friday night and Saturday we decided to take the girls and see some of the sights around town. There are so many beautiful places just 5 to 10 minutes away from our house some even closer. On Friday night we took the girls to the MacKenzie River Pizza Co. and had dinner. McKenzie thought that was pretty cool. The restaurant sits about 30 yards from the Missouri river, so you can sit outside and eat while looking at an amazing view. After we ate dinner we went down and walked along the river, the girls loved it. We also saw a beaver swimming in the river. On Saturday we went over to Giant Springs which is about 5 minutes from our house. Giant Springs is one of the largest freshwater springs in the world, it flows at 156 million gallons a day. There is also a fish hatchery at the state park. It was pretty cool. I have never seen a rainbow trout that big before and now Ryan really wants to go fishing. We are hoping to go and on some more adventures tomorrow. I will post more pictures as we take them. We love you all and can't wait to hear from you all.
This is Black Eagle Falls it's about 3 minutes from our house. So far this is one of my favorite places to go to see the river and an amazing view.
This is a picture Ryan took about 10 blocks from our house. Yes those are all bucks.
This is the view from the MacKenzie River Pizza Co.
If you look close enough you can see the beaver in the water.

I wish you could see how beautiful this really was. The green plants in the water were so bright and green.



This was one of the rainbow trouts you could feed at the hatchery.

This is just one of many tanks.
This is what all of the park look likes and it goes for miles. Its all so green and little animals like bunnies, squirrels and birds are all over the park. It was a great day. We will definitely be going to this park a lot. I love that it is only 5 minutes away.
