Beauty of this Yard

We are seriously in love with where we live! We are constantly amazed at the beauty that surrounds us. We love our house, the chance to have lots of people over, room to play, the mountain view, the sunrises and the sunsets and the wildlife. So gorgeous!!!

Montana Horses

Justice LOVES horses since we moved to Montana. He plans on breeding horses when he grows up. At Football practice tonight, there were horses in the field near by. Isn't he gorgeous!?

I love photography!!!

Backyard Bucks

Seriously can't believe where we live. How many places can you be eating breakfast and see this out your back window? So fun!

Fairmont Hot Springs: Feeding the Animals

Last night we bought several bags of FEED at the gift shop so we could use it on our Sunday walk today. On the corner lot of the Resort, they have several animals that you can feed. The kids had a blast feeding and naming them all. Our favorite was probably the Llama LINDA! or the nice brown horse. BROWNIE! There was a rude black horse that kept kicking the other animals. MEANY! And a goat/pig/penguin that could barely waddle he was so fat! GOATIGUIN! Fun times!

Hiking Mount Helena

With no house projects to do, we are pretty free during the weekends. So, we are trying to be Adventurous! We want to experience all we can around Helena. (and then be able to persuade people to come visit us with all the cool things they could experience. LOL)

So today, we decided to have Justice take us on the hike that he did with his Scout Group around Mount Helena. It was a little steep and long for our inexperienced hiking family but we did it! We took tons of "breaks" along the way and it took us 3 times longer than it did for the Scouts but it was totally worth it! The views are PHENOMENAL! The Devil's Kitchen rock and cave was one of the kid's favorite things. And we even saw a couple deer on the side of the path. Crazy! Where are we living?? The beauty here amazes me!

Family Sunday Walk

Our family LOVES our Sunday Walks!!! We have decided that since we no longer have a block to walk around- that we would each take a week and pick the route we would take. Here's some shots of our route for today. It's gorgeous! We LOVE the mountains and seeing wildlife! Today, we saw several bunnies.

I also included a picture of the train that runs and Whoot-Whoo-s past our home several times each night. Oh the memories we will have of apartment living! ;)

Deer Sighting in Montana City

Since we don't know anyone ad we have nothing in our apartment yet, we decided to take a drive to Montana City today. It's a couple miles south of Helena. I forgot how beautiful the mountains are! Gorgeous!!!

As we were heading home, right on the side of the road- we sighted a deer next to the road. I got out and took a couple pictures of it before it headed over to the next yard to find something else to munch on. You don't see that much where we came from. ;)
