Summer Activities

We're keeping busy around here with summer activities. Claire got her own fish last week (and it's still kicking!); she's named it "Coddy," rejecting my suggestion of "Sushi." It's a Beta fish since I got upsold from the 14 cent goldfish by the girl at PetCo assuring me the Beta fish are hardier and cleaner.

Despite continuing wet weather, we took our first road trip/camping trip of the summer last weekend. We traveled to the center of the state, Lewistown, and managed to find a great, sheltered campground near a creek in the Little Belt Mountains on the way home.
We also fit in another canoe trip to Harrison Lake--just 30 minutes down the road and quite scenic with views of the Tobacco Root range, green pastures, and even Angus cattle in the distance.
Claire has started dance class for the summer. She got to go a few times with Nate's mom while she was visiting in February and loved it. I have to admit, a room full of little girls in pink dance outfits is pretty irresistible, as much as I want her to bike, hike, ski, and fish like her mama!
