| Nikko testing out the Thompson's slide... |
We took another trip up to Montana this year! The occasion this time was for Sonny's memorial service in Salmon, ID who we got to stay with on our last visit to Montana. We flew into Missoula, where we got to meet baby Clara before driving to Idaho to see where Papa Steve grew up. Really pretty country. I'll let the pics do the talking.
