Saturday: On the River

My father-in-law helped get everyone on canoes & rafts
Petersen Canoe: Jack, Jill, Drew, & Nana
(This is the canoe that sank just beofre it reached the ranch; Nana, Jill, & Jack got out and walked back while Drew got the canoe going again and rowed into the beach at the ranch)
Willy, Melanie, & Liam
The Lehman Canoe: Darrin, Jared, Gabriel, & Laura
The Post Canoe: Liam, Mel, Spencer, Will, & Audrey (Brent rowed with them, too)
Spencer & Brent at the ranch beach
Addie in the sand...any wonder she STILL has sand in her pants???

Hey Jaimie - Lurker Leah here (Matt and Amie's friend). I have to chime in and say CONGRATS on your sweet baby James. (just like the song...love it)And please tell me where that ranch beach is at. I must know. I have always joked around and said that my dream house is a ranch over looking the beach! I didn't know it existed! Whenever you get a second please tell me. Take your time on getting back. I understand the new baby tiredness oh too well. Take care! Leah Gardner

The water was apparently not that cold, but everyone thought canoes would be fun this year. It was a cool day, and we didn't get any tubes inflated, so we just took canoes and a raft for the little girls. Leah, that ranch with a beach is ou rlittle Melin family place on the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley, Montana. It's about 13 miles south of Livingston, 30 miles north of the north gate to Yellowstone Park. We LOVE to float the river and have a bonfire and dutch oven dinners there. We bought it three years ago and have been trying to clean it up and get ready to build a little lodge there...I can't wait to finish and have Christmas at the ranch in the cabin! If you ever have a Yellowstone vacation, come see us!
