We spent the day yesterday around Red Lodge, where we ventured up to the Pass. This is an area atop the mountains between Montana and Wyoming that is filled with snow 12 months per year. Just last month there was well over 6 feet of snow, whereas yesterday, we found one area with 5 feet and lots and lots of grass. It was strange having a snowball fight in shorts. Mya couldn't quite figure out what the deal was with the snow. She touched it, tasted it and touched it some more. We enjoyed the drive, and stopped along the way to take in the beautiful view. On the return trip, we enjoyed lunch in Red Lodge and took in a few of the cute shops to break up the drive.
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
