The Rowley Family vacation...

began even before we got to our destination.  After we left the Millet Reunion we traveled up into Idaho. After traveling for five hours we decided to stop in Idaho falls at the AmeriTel Hotel. It was late but Leah needed to get out some wiggles so we decided to take her swimming for a half and hour before bed time. It was nice to relax and watch Leah play in the water. Leah loves to swim, she is like a little fish. It did the trick and Leah was out as soon as we got into pajamas. Anyways, after a nice continental breakfast we packed our car and drove on. On Sunday day we traveled up into Montana to Flathead Lake to Justin's parents lake house. That evening was spent talking with Justin's parents and relaxing after a long drive.
Monday morning we decided that we needed to go into Kalispell to get Leah some baby food and a few items that we needed. Later after lunch we decided to take a boat ride around Flathead Lake. Here are some pictures of us getting ready for the boat ride. Leah didn't like her life vest to much but she loved the boat.
Justin's dad took us around and showed us some of the really big houses that were being built around the island. One house was being built on an island and the boats would go right up into the house. It was pretty cool. I wish I would have remembered to take a picture of it for all those wanting to see it. So sorry I guess that all of you will just have to take my word for it. So after the boat ride, Justin decided that he would try his hand at skiing. I have never seen Justin do this so I was amazed when Justin almost got up. Justin has not gotten up on a ski for some years. Needless to say this was a motivator for Justin to get back in shape. Justin said that later he would try again so I hope that he will get up.
Our first day in Montana was wonderful and a lot of fun. I am going to write about or vacation in several different posts due to all the pictures that I would like to share with you. So enjoy the different video's and pictures of our family vacation.
