We have been enjoying beautiful weather – tho earlier in the week we had some cooler days, which were nice to get some baking done. Jake made his first solo batch of brownies. We had to throw the pan away. His second batch was close to perfection tho! 🙂 The little girls have found all […]
catching carp in Canyon Ferry Lake…
One of the things that Canyon Ferry Lake is popular for is walleye fishing. Since we have been at a different campground, the kids have been fishing quite a bit – something that they seldom did at the host site. The little girls have really been gung-ho to catch a fish… Waiting patiently for that […]
The kids love to stay at Aunt Gayle’s! They enjoy playing with the cousins, swimming/kayaking in the pond, and riding Aunt Gayle’s horses…Riding with the cousins is one of Bethy’s and Eli’s fav things to do… and a sunset ride is fab (if you put on enough bug spray!)… When we moved out to the […]
Riding in to Tizer Lake…
Last weekend, Vaughn, Eli, and Jake met up with family friend Carl and drove about 1/2 an hour south of Montana’s capitol city of Helena.There, they drove up a little dirt back road, parked at another friend’s house and unloaded our quad, and Carl’s 2 dirt bikes…They took those up to where the road ends […]

Lots has been going on here lately.We are camped in a great spot with not-so-great internet service, but I’m posting anyway, just minus most of the pics that I had listed to upload. While we were at the fireworks stand, Hannah decided that she wanted a bit more space (not so much physical space as […]
What we're up to…
Freedom!!! Â We are no longer camp hosts, having pulled out this past Monday. We already have a host gig for next summer if we want it, but for now we are going camping – we have really missed the freedom of picking up and moving via whim! I will blog our story soon, but to […]
THE 4th of July party…
For years now, my sister and her family have thrown a 4th of July party. Pretty typical. But the unusual thing about their party is that it is never on the 4th of July. Because their family also runs a firework stand (that’s how we got into it), they are very busy around the 4th, […]
Emma turns 6!!!
One of the things that we do every year at the fireworks stand, is to celebrate Emma’s birthday. We have run a fireworks stand for the past 6 years – it is a great experience for the kids – and since Emma’s birthday is at the end of June, we are always running the stand […]
Roasting at the stand…
One more day selling fireworks! Today (3rd), was quite hot. Too hot for being in an RV without a/c. We both like and dislike the this stand location compared to our previous stand: we like it because it has a higher profit, and because it has power and water. Just not enough power to run […]
Tirade on Happy 4th of July… ;)

Life at the firework stand is hopping (thank goodness 😉 – the worst part about running a firework stand is counting, boxing, and storing all the left overs. On the 5th, we go back in the stand, do an inventory of the fireworks that didn’t sell, carefully box them all up, and put them back […]
