montana was heavenly--all that open space! we had a great reunion with my family in the mountains of big sky and then spent a week at my sister's in billings. they were amazing hosts and treated my boys to many 'firsts.'
first time fishing
first dune buggy ride--for me too!
first time on the trampoline
we had a great trip! the only snag was missing our return flight to boston due to weather in denver. we had to fly out the next day on a different flight and the man who traded me seats on the plane after the ticketing agent couldn't put all three of us together was a real gem. he very begrudgingly gave me his seat, but parted by saying, "maybe next time you will plan better and get your tickets a little earlier." yeah, next time i'll do what i can to control the weather that caused us to miss our flight--the flight i booked like six months in advance and for which i spent an extra 30 minutes on the phone making sure we got three seats together. he must have been one of those people who were never children themselves once... i should have just left him next to noah and luke if he wanted his aisle seat so much. :) ahhhh, the joys of flying with kids.
