Montana we love you!

We spent our summer holiday in western Montana, July 9 - 16th. The Goeltz family opened up their home to us and showed amazing hospitality. Their homestead of 6 acres is just south of Florence off of highway 93, approximately 20 miles south of Missoula. We spent our mornings sipping hot cups of coffee while watching the kiddos play and in the evenings we shared good conversation with friends (drinking glasses of Single Hop from the Bitterroot Brewery) while in the presence of gorgeous sunsets over the Bitterroot Mountains. It was a trip that renewed our spirit and reminded us why we love Montana. Here are some of the highlights:

The Goeltz Family and Corey on our hike to Jerry Johnson Hotsprings in the Clearwater National Forest, Idaho. Taking a soak with Sula in these primitive hotsprings was stellar.

Corey had his moment at the Bitterroot Brewery with Huey Lewis.

We took a Sunday drive down through the Big Hole Valley to Dillon, Montana. The weather was unstable all day with lots of dramatic sky and intense thunderstorms.

Growlers, yum! I want one now.
