More Montana....we can't get enough....

After the Rude family reunion...we moved over to the other side of the lake and spent time at our Fleharty/Sharkey family cabins. The weather was fabulous...cool in the morning and evening...and hot during the day. Here we are...relaxing by the lake: Henri, Kara, Kallie, Gail, Kristin, Carol.



Definitely the highlight of the week, was Henri and the boat. It started out as "Grandpa's boat" but by day three...it was "my boat." He still talks about the boat. Look at his smile!



Henri (and often Lili) spent most of their time on the boat. Here they are...breakfast with grandpa and the boat.



The driving challenge....



Lili would fall asleep as soon as the boat started to move. The waves...rocked her right to sleep for a quick little cat-nap.



Emma...reading....



Playing with cousin, Dillon, and the motion-activated sprinkler. A riot to watch!



More boat....



"Fishing" with a super-soaker as his pole. :)



What beautiful country.....



This was a frequent site...usually with a little arm in the air...waving "bye..."



Ah...going fast in the boat....



So fun!



A trip to cousin Karla's elk and bison farm....



Trying to feed the elk some baby apples....



A serious Henri...



Yum....yikes....



So beautiful....buffalo in the background....


More elk....



Dad and his sisters...Auntie Dimpy, Auntie Lois, Auntie Lou and Dad.



Me and Henri.....



Dreaming of owning a condo on the lake. Cousin Carol (aka Cookie), Auntie Lou and mom...helping me dream!



The Idle Spur. Who would have thought....the Fleaburger girls with mom. Karaoke singers always need an alias. :)



Oh yeah.....



The beauty of MT...everything goes at the Idle Spur....



Partying with the Aunties....



Our last morning away....just in time for Henri to learn this....



Wow....



Back to Missoula...Lili modeling one of Auntie Lou's sweet dresses.



Henri and Lili....



Swing swing, swing swing swing....



Our favorite Fireman....Henri with the infamous hat...thanks Herr Graf!



Back to Orlando. Riding the "choo-choo" train back to the main terminal.



We thought strollers would be a good idea. Well...kind-of.



Back at home...happy to be back....



Two Ethiopians in a box....



Henri's imagination is running wild. Feeding his snake his discarded puffs...note the shoelace (aka pocket snake) on the ground next to his left hand....



Sweet Lili....



I"ll post more...I know there are some great shots...and great shots of other cousins that I haven't yet posted. But...at least a teaser for our time away. We already miss you all....love Montana!
