Friday after work we saddled up and headed north to Great Falls to meet for Uncle Jay's Birthday!
Yes, we found a hotel with a pool.
The hippo kiddie pool was a huge success.
Grandpa brought Tyson a late Christmas present...
His Pee Wee Football Pads!
Tyson was too embarrassed to put them on but Morgan wasn't. They're pretty cool and he already has plans to take them to school for show and tell.
Saturday morning we went to the Ranch Rodeo, which was fun and low key for the kids...they could pretty much run around which is always easier than sitting still :)
Back to the Pool!
Ginny was nice enough to play with the kids in the pool while Auntie E and I sat out.
Little trouble makers...
Morgan and Addy tearing it up in the kiddie pool.
The slide finally opened but it was during a birthday party so the line wait was..a little ridiculous.
Tyson said no way...I"m not going on the slide...I'm playing with Uncle Jay.
Little cutie
There were a few presents for Ginny (birthday on the 17th) and Uncle Jay too.
Then off to the real rodeo! Daddy stayed at the hotel with the boys who were exhausted.
Kaitlyn, loving it!
The introductions were quite entertaining.
And one random picture of the rodeo itself. It was the Montana Circuit Finals and it was an awesome show. All local cowboys but the best of the best.
Kaitlyn and Easton having some snacks. These two were buddies throughout the whole rodeo.
Sunday we all got in a swim before leaving.
Tyson the little fishy...
Kaitlyn had a great time on the waterslide this day...there were hardly any people.
Daddy caught some great pictures!

So the big surprise on the way home was a detour through Livingston to pick something up...
This something! A golden retriever puppy.
Devin even wanted to share his mankie on the way home, so sweet.
It didn't last long as he changed his mind. The puppy didn't care though...he was tired :)
