Montana Part 3

We will just dub this the never get out of Helena Day. We started out our morning at the Motel. When we were eating our free breakfast who should appear, but Cody's new wife Amy. Apparently they spent their wedding night in the same Motel as us. I asked Amy where Cody was and she said he was sleeping. They had partied at their reception until 1:30 in the morning. We then went out to Grandma Donnelly's house in Vaughn. I'm sorry I have no pictures of it. It is perfect for her. We did troop out to her garage to look at the casket that she has already bought that she stores sugar in. It is a Pine box just like Dad's and Grandpa Donnelly's. She is just thinking ahead. We then piled into our vehicles to leave. Eric and I had Jimmy and Rhett in Mom's car and Mom and Cindy went with Jessica and Michael and Shane. Rhett and Jimmy entertained each other pretty well. The counted the Mountains we were driving through. I think they made it to 77. They also told each other strange little stories to see if the other would believe them. Things like if a Bear could fly to a Gas Station would it blow up. They also used their water bottles as telescopes and saw lots of wildlife. We made it to the first rest stop outside of Great Falls before Rhett said he had to go to the bathroom. So we stopped. Then we were almost to Helena when Eric started getting tired. I called Cindy on her cell phone and told her we would have to stop somewhere in Helena so we could switch drivers. She didn't listen and Michael pulled off in a Truck Stop almost immediately. I drove to Helena and Cindy called and said to follow Michael no matter what. We wound around Helena for a bit and ended up at an inside Carousal. The boys loved it. Mom bought 12 tokens and if you had a child with you you could ride for free. We all got three rides except for Mom. She choose not to ride. This was only the beginning of our adventure in Helena..........to be continued.........









Mom's video of Jimmy feeding the ducks is better, so a little repeat from Day 2.
