Livin and Lovin Photography: Montana

At the beginning of July we (my parents & I) headed out west to hang out with my sister Carly! She lives in Bozeman and goes to Montana State Univ. We were out there for a week and were able to do a lot of fun things! We went to Glacier National Park, tubing on the Madison River, site seeing, farmers market, played games and spent quality time together in Big Sky! If you've never been to Montana - I highly recommend you go asap, however I'll warn you - you might not want to come back. You are surrounded by beautiful mountains, open sky and perfect weather (in the summer) :) It's so peaceful, clean and laid back! Carly was a wonderful host all week - taking us to the best places to eat, bike, walk, hike and shop.

In Bozeman they have a Farmer's Market every Tuesday night. Carly get's a booth each week to sell her fabulous jewels! Check out her site - www.crazymare.etsy.com She has a lot more that she takes to the booth than is on her site right now. She is extremely talented and I'm pretty much walking advertisement for her with all the jewelry she makes me :) thanks sis! Anyways - we were able to go to the farmer's market with her and help her sell her goods! It was great - an open air venue with many local artist selling anything from jewelry, pottery, and produce. They even had snowcones (ahhhh!) which I have decided has become extinct around here. (If anyone knows of somewhere around here I can get one please do share!)

Below are a few picts from the trip! The landscape shots don't even begin to capture God's beauty, but you can get a glimpse of what we were doing in Montana! The highlight of the trip might have been tubing, but unfortunatly we didn't risk taking the camera with us. We had a wonderful trip minus Phil not being able to join us. :( Thanks Carly and Mom & Dad for a great week with the fam!
