Flathead Lake MT, For the 4th of July

This is 2 very long posts, because of all the pictures! I still can not figure out how to do a stupid slide show, I know it's very dumb. So instead you get to read two posts, some pictures are just so beautiful of Montana so it's worth it!! We went to Flathead Lake in Montana to stay with Kenny's grandparents. If you don't know where it is, all I know is that it's a very long 10 hour drive with 3 kids, but very much worth the long drive. Also it's by Kalispell if you know where that is. Kenny's grandpa is a builder and very,very good one. Right now, hopefully he is building there last house.(we will see about that) It's grandma's dream home and it's right on the lake, like there old one was. We had the most wonderful time. It is so pretty there, we are already wanting to turn around and go back.This is a picture of there house they are building, its a Mediterranean style house. In the left hand corner is a huge deck right by the lake. Kenny's cousin Nate built it and yes Kenny did get to help with it. The only time Kenny builds anything is when we are in Montana.
Here are the kids playing, it's really cool cause the docks are built all around the shore so the kids have a shallow end to play in.
Owen and his Cousin Stella. We did get the boys to ride on the tube behind the boat. I took Colby and Kenny took Owen. I think Owen liked it a lot better. It took a lot of convincing to get those kids on that tube.
I had to put this picture in cause it is the only picture I had that almost showed Kenny's camp fire to the left of the picture. I really have to tell this story and for all of you that know Kenny will really enjoy it!! Colby wanted a camp fire so bad, so Kenny got a pit all built and it was really nice. He got all the wood and kinling to start it. Does anyone ever watch Survivor Man with Les Stroud(Totally Real) or Bear Grylls Man vs Wild (totally fake),well try to guess who Kenny is. Anyway he had all these matches to light the fire and could never get it started WITH matches, it was really funny. He was getting so mad, then he got a long stick with leaves on the end and took it up to the gas grill(that's right he went to go light it with the gas grill!!!) got the fire to start on the end of the stick but every time he got to the fire it went out.One time he got it lit and I told him to start blowing on it, he didn't at first and it started to go out so he started to blow, it was to little to late. After a couple of minutes of blowing it went out again! I was laughing so hard, first he couldn't get it started with matches, which Les would have started it with his bare hands and a twig, and then couldn't get down to the fire pit with actual fire he got from the gas grill, which Bear Grylls would of had the gas grill off camera so everyone would have thought he had started it with his bare hands and a twig!!! Needless to say he finally got it lit using the gas grill fire. The rest of the day we were making up are own monologues pretending to be Bear Grylls, which sad to say we clearly are, we are really going to work on are survivor skills. Next time will be different. It was a great day and I almost worked of all the weight I gained in that trip by laughing so hard!!
The boys throwing rocks into the lake they could have done that all day.
