Oma and Opa Haswell invited us to join them in Montana for a week. We flew out to Bozeman then they drove us to Big Sky. This was Kayla’s first plane ride. She did pretty well. Coming down was hard for her until she figured out that eating would help her ears. The plane was a small prop plane so I doubt anyone could hear her crying anyhow.
This was a hike we took near the top of the ski mountain, Lone Peak I think it’s called. Kayla had her first gondola ride to the top, and Oma kindly wore Kayla for the hike.
This hike we are on was a trail to Beehive Basin. We didn’t get all the way to the lake, but we did enjoy what we covered. You probably can’t get a good sense of the wildflowers, but we were continuously walking through fields of wildflowers. All kinds and colors. It was so beautiful.
Coffee anyone?
While in Big Sky, we decided to attempt a game of golf. Mom and I shared a spot as Kayla was quite fussy today and not real pleased to be away from her place to lie down and kick. She did eventually fall asleep. Tim turned out to be a real natural. He claims he only played once when he was a kid. I was impressed. Overall we were quite a slow bunch and stopped after nine holes. The golf course was in a valley surrounded by rolling hills and mountains. One really can’t complain about that. Just look at Tim’s form…
Kayla turned three months old while we were there. She is more amazing all the time. She did have more fussy times then usual, but we also had her in the carseat quite alot during our trips to yellowstone, etc. She is reaching out to touch our faces now, and also using her feet more to touch things. Tim and Kayla really seemed to have done some bonding on this trip (and his paternity leave in general).
Kayla also is drooling more and beginning to put everything in her mouth. She can grab a hold of things but often flings them as she doesn’t quite have the hang of holding onto things for very long. She is super alert and takes in everything.
