Ahoy There, Matey!





Hi All! This past Friday, Dustin's co-worker Jeff invited us to go sailing on a lake outside Helena, MT. It's about an hour and a half's drive from Great Falls. Once Henry got home from school we hit the road. We all had a great time on the boat with Jeff and his daughter, Alicia. Jeff asked all the kids to practice their pirate talk before we set sail and even had the pirate hats for them to wear. After our sail around the lake we set out to find a place to stay the night since it had gotten late quite quickly. Dustin had heard there was military lodging available in Helena and we found it at Army Fort William Henry Harrison. It's a small training base. We stayed in big room with a separate bedroom, a living area, and kitchen area- all for $33. Not Bad! The next morning Dustin and the kids walked around the base to see the tanks and helicopters. On the way home we stopped for a picnic along the river. It was a super fun couple of days for us.
