Red Lodge Part 5

Can you say Pig Races???

That's right folks, Pigs, that people actually pay money to bet on, and then watch run around a 5 second circle for a treat of pig-like food at the end (you actually thought I knew what pigs like as a treat-ha! NO).  It's quite comical, yet entertaining, and here's the kicker...I've seen them twice. I'm their biggest fan!

After our day on the lake we stopped at a local and tourist hot spot for some quick grub and pig races (duh)! The next day we headed out for a beautiful day hike up what is known as the East Rosebud. It has spectacular views, waterfalls, friendly folks, and mountain fresh air. Noah did very well in the hiking backpack with only a few spurts of "I'm over this guys..." We had a nice hike that wiped out the kiddos just enough for us to catch a few zzzz's on the way home. The night ended with a pizza dinner.  Funny story about that is...when we went to pick up the pizza (Opa and I went), we ran into a gal from Justin's high school that he knows. She had a major crush on him and even a few years ago told Rick (aka Opa) to have Justin give her a call ;). When she heard he was married she was super bummed. I'm sure it just sealed the deal when she got to meet me! Haha! No really, she was a very sweet girl.

Here come the pictures...

Super excited about those pig races!

Oma and her first grandchild :)

Eating and playing with Opa-fun fun :)

Snuggle snuggle

Love love love this picture...just wish the background was different.

Jeremy and Phoebe getting ready to shoot the course again.

Target practice for Kasten

This is funny-you may have to enlarge the picture to get the full affect. Kasten loves to collect bones with Opa and being the best Opa he is, he made a Kasten Museum of all the bones they have in their collection. He's like a real life label maker...keep looking...

See, real life label maker! The course is called Pheobe Park (remember the boys have brides) and the "runway" he made for his RC airplanes is called Kastoahbe Field. It's a new word folks. It's the first part of Kasten, most of Noah, and the end of Phoebe, all put together to name his "runway"

Here the boys are on the runway...notice that I took it out of "". It's looks pretty real-super cool and super geeky. I think I just called my father-in-law geeky-oops :(

See, GEEKY...he ordered this sign and it lives at the edge of his property along the road for all to see. Nichole took some shots of the boys flying over the sign for the full effect. 

Hobbies hobbies hobbies. Anyone know how many Justin has?? Compared to me??? Gheesh!

Best Buds playing together

Here comes the hike!

I think I have 2 more parts of our trip to post...Some sweet shots of the Grimm family and our lovely airplane ride home (just writing it is making me cringe). Adios for now!
