This is out of order, but oh well.... :) On Thursday of our trip, we met back up with Troy's parents and went to the Lewis and Clark Caverns. It was a 2 hour guided tour. cache did really well. We had to bribe him with a present if he was good and it worked! We walked under a bat colony of pregnant bats. The tour guide asked us to be especially quiet as we went under them. I had visions of Cache yelling and waking all the stressed out bats and sending them flying down at us and causing complete pandemonium! Luckily, that didn't happen. Whew! Griffyn was enjoying being wrapped up in a sling with Troy. We saw some cool rock formations. It was a super fun experience. Good thing Cache had a willing Grandma and Dad to carry him on the hike! Grandma carried him for a while. Go grandma!
We drove back up to Helena to spend the rest of the week with Troy's parents. Friday morning we went to the Gates of the Mountains boat tour. It is where the Missouri river begins. It was a beautiful ride and we heard some cool stories about the river and canyon.
Here are a few more pictures of the rest of our trip. The last day was spent relaxing. Griffyn rolled over for the first time last week. She saved it for Grandma's house. It was cute! She was determined to do it too... but she hasn't done it since. I don't think she liked ending up on her belly. I have to say we had the best 4th of July yet! Troy's parents were invited to a private firework showing. So we went up into the mountains to a beautiful ranch. It had a few ponds nestled against the beautiful green mountains! I guess they do this every year for friends in their ward. There were about 200-300 people there and we got a fireworks show like no other! It was better than any show I have ever seen in Utah. It lasted about 40 minutes or so. They were right over our heads and also reflecting in the huge pond in front of us. The firedepartment was there also. I guess the guy spent about $40,000 on fireworks... HELLO! It was amazing. Definitely, a night to remember.

FUN FUN FUN!!! I am glad I finally get to see all your pictures! :) Looks like it was the perfect vacation. I would've liked to have seen the fireworks!
We miss you guys already. Was so fun to be able to catch up. We are still recovering over here but I think I could be up for some shopping again. :)I think we will have to plan another trip this winter or spring to meet up again. Much loves.
Wow, I'm jealous. It sounds like you had a lot of fun. Good for you and good for Cache to be so good. The fireworks sound great.
