we spent the long weekend down at the nielson's cabin on ashley lake, in montana. it was so fun. i used to get to go every summer with jocelyn to their cabin when i was younger. then i started working, then she got married, then i got married, and then kids came into the picture, and all of a sudden getting to the lake wasn't as easy to do. life gets too complicated when you're older...you don't get to enjoy summer like you did back in high school. i miss those days!
but no amount of time can change how much i love my best buddy. cheesy? maybe! but it's true.
on the way down we drove 'the road to the sun'. it is super pretty up there. i don't usually appreciate that kind of beauty. i find a tropical beach scene much more appealing then a rocky mountain one. but i have to admit it's nice up there. they are doing construction on the pass so the roads were even narrower then usual. i was happy i wasn't the one driving.
the first morning we were at the lake it was rainy.
but it cleared up real quick and we got to do all the fun lake activities we were excited for.
i'm a chicken when it comes to being pulled behind a boat. always have been. i prefer to catch rays on the boat, then drag behind it! i did get on a tube a few times though...with miss holli. she is, hands down, the bravest little girl i know.
matt, on the other hand, loooved trying everything. wake boarding, wake surfing, saucer-ing, and so on.
this next picture makes me laugh - one of these things is not like the others...
we preformed in the ashley lake annual talent show.
jeff awarded matt the MVH (most valuable hustler) in our volleyball games.
i kicked butt at mexican horseshoes.
the fox's destroyed us at ROOK.
rick taught us how to use a blowgun.
chet sported his speedo. (like father like son).
tank chased chipmunks.
we had late night chit chats.
it was a perfect weekend.
thanks nielson family for spoiling us. you are way too kind!
