She was extremely impressed that Daddy was willing to pull her from house to house. She was even more impressed that everyone wanted to give her candy! She was not impressed with Mommy when she said no more candy.
Cassidy and I went to Woofstock out at the animal shelter. It was a huge fundraiser that had different dog contests, huge inflatables for the kids and a band playing in the parking lot. Cassidy is a big fan of the inflatibles and I think that she would have spent the entire day bouncing and sliding if I had let her.
We dropped Dad and Pete off at the airport and the girls took off for Glacier Park. It was a great trip. We saw mountain goats and bighorn sheep but I think that the ground squirrels were Donna's Favorite.
On the second day we hiked back to Avalanche lake and it just about killed us. I convinced Mom and Donna that the hike would be pretty easy but I think I forgot how hard it really was. Luckily they forgave me (sort of) after they saw the view at the end of the hike.
Mom, Dad, Donna and Pete all came out to visit. Yeah! We took a 2 day trip through Yellowstone Park and tried to hit all of the highlights. We spent the night over in Silver Gate Montana in our favorite cabins and went up through the Beartooth Pass on our way back.
We didn't get to see a lot of animals on this trip because they are higher up in the mountains this time of year but it was a great time to see the geysers, Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
Merry and Ken are out for their spring visit. We went down to the Grand Tetons and spent the night in Jackson Hole. The next morning we took a ferry across Jenny Lake and hiked up to Inspiration Point. Cassidy fell asleep in the backpack so the two of us didn't make it all the way to the top. We sat on a big rock and watched the marmots that were all over the place.
Dave and Ken climbed all the way and said that when they went over the top of a hill there was a moose with a calf that couldn't have been more than a few hours old. He said that the mama was too tired to even pay too much attention to them.
Happy Mother's Day! Cassie and Dave took me up to an unnamed spot (unnamed to protect the guilty) for a hike and to "borrow" more rocks for our landscaping. Cassidy was a great help picking out rocks.
Cassidy and I went to Three Forks today to watch the Montana Annual Horse Roundup. They run the horses right down Main Street in Three Forks. We waited 3 1/2 hours for them to finally make it into town but it was worth it. I can't believe that there are too many towns left that will let people drive horses down their Main Street.
We have finally started working on the yard. Our neighbors will be so excited! We haven't been able to get too much done yet because it keeps snowing!
What a busy month. Cassidy built her first snowman. Cassidy's best friend Quinn turned 1 and Cassidy's obsession with slides is still going strong! I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to have more to say next month!
