Fish Pond

The fish pond is one of Ryker's must stop places when we are in town.  He always wants to check it out.  This summer since he was attached to his bike, of course he had to ride the loop.

He's that little blue spot across the pond.

And again...

Yes, we know you've already been around.  Keep going, we'll catch up....

Yeah Cosmos!  Always finding cool stuff for us.  Ryker still talks about the snapping turtle remains Cosi found.

Day Trip to Medora

Ryker got up, but couldn't figure out how to get down.  He made it but I had to crawl up and spot him on the way down.  After the summer, he was a pro on the fireman pole so he'd get down with no problems now.

Medora has two great parks.  This thing was one of our favorites.

This came in a close second.

Awe, the shooting gallery.  Awesome, but only open in the summer so the kids had never seen it before.  We used to spend all day here when my Grandma would take us down.  It is still only a quarter for 20 shots!  It is about the only thing in the historic town with historic prices, but it's about all we bought besides lunch and ice cream anyway.

 

Ryker of course, had to pull out his camera too.

He got some quality photos.

 

The only other purchase......a must have hot dog and marshmallow roasting fishing pole!

Canyon Ferry

After a couple days in Bozeman, we headed over near Seth's old stomping grounds of Helena to take in some of the best water Montana has to offer.  My Uncle Jim and cousins were there and we had a great time.

Brian, Cayden, and Ryker

Kya could get used to Jim's toys

Ryker met a lot of cousins for the first time and had his introduction to the washer game

Yeah, it's a cool boat, but did you see this stick?

I always thought that between the leg strap was to keep the lifejacket from floating up, but now I'm wondering if it is to keep their soggy drawers up....

What was I doing this whole time, you might ask while others are playing with my kids?  Relaxing on the beach with a few well deserved beers and adult conversation after driving 750 miles with 2 toddlers and a dog.

Yep, if the engineer can't fix it, it's broke.  Time for a new squirt gun.

We've had about all the fun we can handle in a day, we can head back to Bozeman now.  Thanks for the great time Zinda's!
