Trek to the Big Sky

Saturday we participated in a local fund-raiser called 'Trek to the Big Sky'. It was a 3 mile hike up at Big Sky resort and it was an awesome day for a hike.
It started out a little scary...Kaitlyn cried and wanted to be carried for the first 250 yards. Daddy was going to get his exercise with this load.
She finally figured out that it wasn't so bad and picked wildflowers and tried to catch butterflies. Oh and we stopped at every bit of water to throw rocks.
Morgan wasn't asleep, just infatuated with the water.
Here was the lodge at the top where they served lunch and had music.
Here's the view from the top
Here we all are waiting in line to go down the chairlift.

Pictures from the chair lift.
I didn't take many - I was a little nervous riding w/ Morgan.
Kaitlyn loved the 'swing' she didn't want to get on it but loved every minute on the way down

There was even some snow leftover at the base

This was the starting point and the end was at the top of the lift...quite a climb!

Kaitlyn got her picture with Tadi Rabbit in the lodge

Only a few short miles from Big Sky, I think it wore them out!

Daddy, Connor and Bryan didn't get a nap.
They stopped for a load of firewood and did some fishing on the way home.
