Day 4-
Molly and her aunt drove to Helena to do a little shopping? I don't get it, but they had a good time and brought back some food from the big city. The kids and I went exploring a little. We drove to the the town of Augusta and had lunch. Then we headed out to a lake to try our luck at fishing. Very pretty lake with the mountains all around and I forgot to take any photos. Oh well, we ended up throwing rocks and driving around these dirt/gravel roads checking out the local wildlife (photo above). By the time Molly got back we were starving so I ate some left overs from the Macaroni Grill. Weird to be eating that kind of food at this place. Before it got to dark I took Caleb fishing on the river by the cabin and we caught 5 trout in row. I was using my spinning rod so Caleb could reel them in. He had a blast!
Day 5 -
I tried my luck at fishing again on the Missouri, but got blown out. I'm talking Eastern Oregon wind. Went back to the cabin to find that Caleb, while playing jump off the bunk beds, sprained his ankle pretty good. I tried to get him to keep ice on it but he couldn't quite handle the cold. We all decided to go back to Augusta and have a final feast at this bar/restaurant. After, Molly was concerned so we drove about 20 miles north to a town with a small hospital to check Caleb out. They said he sprained his ankle! Oh well, I guess better safe than sorry right? We then headed back to the cabin and watched a few movies before bed.
Day 6 -
Woke up early and cleaned up around the place and got everything packed. Drove to Idaho Falls, which took us about 4 hours or so. We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. More later.....

I wish we could get away for a few weeks in a beautiful remote place like that. It looks so peaceful and quiet. Are you going to teach the kids to fly fish?
And thanks so much for bringing the kids to Kendle's party. She loved having them there!
