O.K O.K we admit we have not been blogging. All is well here in beautiful Montana while we anxiously await spring and summer to arrive. Fact: while living in Montana you have 8 months of winter and 4 months of visitors. We are most definitely missing the visitors.
So here it is, all mighty Mother Nature coming in at full force showing us just exactly what she is made of........whoa, nelly!?! With that being said our days seemed to be made up of alot of things these day, can anyone say "Where's the shovel?" "I think it is out there somewhere in the snow, do you see it yet?" But with all the hard work also comes the fun part. It's SLEDNECK time..... So last week after all the powder set in with the warmer weather, we all joined forces and made a grueling trek up the North Fork to break out the first go around with the sleds. After 2 hours and 35 miles later we arrived as what is known as the Wurtz Cabin. Undoing the white knuckles from my steering wheel, we checked out our stay for the night. Wow, what a place. This cabin had it all. It slept 14 and had a kitchen in it to cook for at least 50. So needless to say some good ole Elk burgers made it into our belly that evening and it sure was TASTY! But after a long day of driving on sheet ice we busted out the sleds for a little go around in the front yard of the cabin before lighting off some sparklers and heading to bed. Getting in around dark revealed none of the splendor that we woke up to the following morning. Magnificent views of the park and its peaks poked thru the clouds and once again Mother Nature came out to put on a show. Wow, thanks! So after a little breakfast we decided to rally up and get the sleds some action. Being my first time on a sled proved to be challenging but none the less one more outdoor sport now is being added to my list. Thanks, John! But all in all we had a great two days off together and life has been great.
Every year I get the opportunity to be thankful for who you know not what you know. My friend is the caretaker for Lake Mcdonald lodge. We eat drink and be way too merry. It is by far one of the most beautiful spots to be at on a morning of any holiday. We almost didn't do it this year due to all of us being buh hum bug. I am so glad we did. 
Scott has had some time off lately in-between seasons. We have been walking, hiking, and celebrating all around. My favorite hike is the bike path to Fish Creek in Glacier National Park.
This walk in the park has the most spectacular views, whether by foot, bike or skiing. The sweet new frost and snow high on the mountain tops still takes my breath away every time.
So Scott had never before carved pumpkins. I could not believe it. Poor Scott had no idea how much I love Holidays and what he was getting himself into. We watched a movie and carved. The sad part was the fact that his was way better than mine. I accidentally made removable dentures for mine. Ohh well happy first time Scott!
