Montana Summer 2015 (Part 1)

Family vacation time. We decided to head to Kalispell, Montana for a family vacation. The first part of the trip entailed Sydney taking his first airplane trip. On the other hand, Casey is an old pro, with a total of... ONE plane flight under his belt. Sydney's first airplane trip started out with... a three hour departure delay! Though the delay certainly sucked, Da Boys did really well. Minimal whining and complaining; it was a pleasant surprise. Good thing they are very patient, just like their Daddy. LOL.

Sydney on his first airplane ride ever!

The flight itself was relatively smooth. Just before takeoff Sydney confided that he was 'a little bit scared'. I assured him there was nothing to be scared of, and we spent the majority of the flight talking about random topics.. until he fell asleep on my lap.

Our first day in Montana was spent exploring the nearby town of Whitefish. Of course, I was immediately drawn toward 'City Beach'.. Um, "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto". This beach was set on a lakeshore. No surf, no volleyball. Our next stop was Big Mountain. Here, Da Boys rode their first ski lift. They also rode the 'Alpine Slide', which was a sled course set up in a luge-like tube that ran down the mountain. Back at the house, Da Boys and Daddy played lots of games, including chase, bicycle racing, and football. We finished the night with a BBQ and a fire pit, with smores.
