Montana Part 2

So this is day 2 of the Montana trip, Saturday June 7th. We were all very tired. Shane woke up crying at 5 in the morning and woke everybody up. That made for a very long day. Michael had to work for half of the day. Cindy decided she wanted to go work with him and she got very muddy helping him change a Pivot tire (A Pivot is a big sprinkler). Sorry no picture of that, because Eric, Mom and Jimmy and I had already left for Great Falls. We went out to the Ranch for therapy for Mom. Everything is overgrown with weeds and our tree that had the treehouse by the pond is dead. We saw Janet's boyfriend Rich out there. He had rented a big dumpster and was cleaning up the junk. He is a very nice guy. We had met him a week earlier when they came back from a training in Texas. He showed Jimmy a dead snake ( a bull snake). Then we went back to town and checked into our Motel and got ready for the wedding. Sorry I have no pictures of the wedding. It went by so fast I never had a chance to get my camera out. Jessica took pictures and she is going to send me a disk and hopefully I can put those pictures on the blog. Cody was wearing a brown suit with sandals and socks. His groomsmen were to, so at least he was consistent. Amy was wearing a cream colored dress with turquoise band across the top and bottom. Don, Cody's brother performed the cermony. I guess in Montana just about anyone can perform a wedding. It was very fast. Then they went and stood in the back in their line. By this time the alcohol was flowing freely. We stayed for a banquet dinner. There was lots of hugging with Dad's family, but we left early and went to visit Janet at her work. Rich pulled up just as we did with his motorcycle and he let Jimmy sit on it. Jimmy loved that. Then Michael and Jessica and Cindy and Rhett and Shane went out to the ranch at Mom and Jimmy and Eric and I went to Gibson Park and fed the ducks. It was freezing cold. Jimmy by this point was beyond tired and cranky, so we drove around Great Falls a little and then went back to the Motel and went to Bed. To be continued.........
