Montana

Before we leave the country for three months we wanted to spend some quality time with our families. During our time at the ranch, we did our requisite amount of manual labor (felling, moving, splitting and stacking the winter supply of firewood) as well as rest and relaxation (hanging with the cool kids from Holmes, climbing at Blodgett canyon and a fun family raft/canoe trip). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using the new splitter to earn our dinner –but, what yummy dinners they were (thanks mom).
