Chico - sans photos

Last weekend we jetted off to spend a night at Chico. Goodness I love that place. Cissie went with us to help out and see a new part of Montana she has never seen before.

We took a little adventure into Gardiner and there was some fantastic wildlife sighting. We saw a ton of bison outside the park. Some right near the road - Cissie got some good photos. We saw two giant herds of elk. Huge herds more elk than I have ever seen before. We also saw a small herd of mountain goats. They were tremendous. Jr. was mildly interested but was distracted by Curious George. Ahhh George. Blessing and a curse.



We swam and ate and swam and drank (the grown-ups). It was really fun, but not enough sleep. Graham pulled the 5:15 AM wake-up call. I sat with him in the lobby and drank coffee with older folks and another mom with a baby who woke up way too early. Everyone kept asking me if my baby is always this happy. Yes, he is I would reply. Yes he is smily, happy and funny. He makes eye contact with strangers (no they can't hold him) he smiles and claps for them.

I saw us as a family going to Chico when the boys are older and then again maybe someday just the two of us. I have so many wonderful memories of that place, I can't wait to pile on more.



Yeah - I don't know why I can't get my photo taking in gear. Here are a smattering of other photos I took here and there. Check Picassa for a video of Graham almost crawling.

Did you have the famous "flower cocktail"? What about the deer in the road? A great place! xxg/g, m/f, m/p

Graham definitely will be a crawler soon.
