Memorial weekend


This weekend I (Kristen) got the chance to tag along with Michael and Danielle back home to Montana. We left Thursday made it to Billings a day before expected, the only problem was that Tyler had to work all weekend and so he couldn't come.
This trip home is one that i don't think we will forget for awhile. Friday we had all sorts of fun, including seeing the worlds tallest horse, a 7 foot (to the shoulder) monster named radar. Saturday we drove up to Red Lodge to participate in the opening of the beartooth pass. This road is probably the most beautiful in the world, 20 miles of steep switchbacks taking you straight up a mountain. Well, it just so happens that Red Lodge was trying to set the world record for the biggest number of snow shovels collected at one place. As you can see there was no snow, but we did set the record, because there was no previous one. In the picture above my family is in the front right. I'm behind and to the left of the lady in white and David is right next/behind her and michael behind him etc. We ended up on the front page of the newspaper, and on the news for quite a bit.
After the festivities we drove up the pass and watches people skiing down crazy drops on the side of the road that went down thousands of feet, and then had to hike back up. We had a snowball fight and made a snowman and then headed home. Monday we went to Grandpa's farm in Wyoming and did some 4 wheeling and dirt biking. Quite fun.
From what i gather Tyler spent all his time sleeping and working and then on Monday got to spend time with his family, doing fun gardening and a dinner. Overall it was a great weekend!
