I was asked for some pictures and an update, so here we go! P.S. I'm obsessed with panoramic views. It just gives a better idea of the area.


We are really loving the summer here! While getting lost and mozing around town we've found 4 splash pads. There's also a free lunch for kids, but it's not your typical free lunch. The turkey is on a whole grain roll and the boys get baggies of fresh and locally grown vegetables such as peas and grape tomatoes. Talking further with the lunch worker she told me that 60% of all the food at all the schools here are from local farmers! Even the beef! I love how this place supports local farming.


Once a week there is a little local symphony that comes to a park and plays. Everyone brings their lawn chairs and a picnic. There's a splash pad at this park too, so the kids can swim while the music plays. I'd say 70% of the folks sitting in the lawn chairs are senior citizens. Awesome.


Also once a week is an event called "Out to Lunch." Here the community gathers by a park by the river and listens to a live band while sampling different restaurants food.



Tanner couldn't get his Montana fishing license for awhile, so we just jumped in the car and drove an hour west to be in Idaho. We were driving up the mountain when we spotted this lake. It was fun except we weren't prepared with Mesquito repellent! Liam had about 30 bites just on his arms and legs. We saw a moose playing across the lake so it was totally worth it (at least for me!)
