Ahhhhh, Civilization!

We arrived at the Grundy's Sunday evening to a cocktail, a hot shower and Montana steaks on the grill! I could get used to being spoiled by this civilization stuff! The Grundy's (Chip, Elizabeth, Vaughn, Mary, Tom, and James) are a wonderful family from Pennington with a gorgeous home overlooking Flathead Lake in Big Forks, MT. They set Daiv and I up in the guest cottage, a separately entranced suite with a cozy bedroom with a view of the lake, a kitchenette/wet bar area and a spacious bathroom (don't tell them, but we may never leave!). The kids bunked with the Grundy kids in the lower level of the main house.
Monday morning we set off on a two hour horse ride thru the Montanta wilderness, the best way to see the countryside is on horseback. After lunch, and Ryan learning to drive an ATV, we headed to the lake for a kayak (Elizabeth, the triathlete, swam alongside!). Then that evening, we all took the ATV's down to the horse corral to watch some real cowboys do some roping! It was a true out West day!
