Our MT Vacation

We spent a wonderful 10 days in MT and ID, enjoying plenty of outside fun and time with family.

Panning for gold - or pretty rocks

Getting ready to catch Madeline's first fish


Yes, this was her first fish!  She reeled it in, but was afraid to touch it.  Quite a nice trout for a first fish!!
Madeline, how big was your first fish?
