Our final stop on our trip proved to be a favorite. In my mind, before our trip, I envisioned this stop as being a quickie. We would drive around a little, get our “stamp”, and then be on our way. It was such a pleasant surprise though! We woke up in Billings and, after having …
Billings Montana Temple
We are big on traditions around here. We started a tradition on our very first family trip to Arizona to visit a temple – even just the grounds – on our family trips. We love learning about these temples and the growth of the church in the area. Montana has only one temple and it …
ZooMontana
Our kids are definitely ANIMAL LOVERS! They love them and going to the zoo is such a treat. So to the zoo we went! ZooMontana in Billings isn’t very large but we had so much fun! The main attractions are Amur Tigers, Grizzly Bear, Wolverine, River Otters, Takin, and Canada Lynx. Jacob’s favorite animal is …
Museum of the Rockies
After we left the Grant-Kohrs Ranch we headed east towards Bozeman. This was an extra day/stop that we added last minute because of Mark. And I am SO GLAD that we did because it was a highlight for ALL of the kids! This museum is incredible! There are lots of different areas and it was …
Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site
As sad as we were to leave Glacier, we had plans to explore more of the great state Montana! As we traveled south, it was just beautiful {I think we all said “beautiful” on this trip about 1,000 times each}. Every couple minutes it seemed we would pass another lake and it was just gorgeous. …
Glacier National Park: Part II
Two days in Glacier just isn’t long enough. We loved this place so much and as we were leaving we were already planning all of the things we would want to do if we came again. Because we were a little surprised by the crowds the first day, we wanted to make sure we hit …
Glacier National Park: Part I
Glacier National Park is an absolute dream. I am already dreaming of going back and what I want to do. We spent two days there and it was wonderful. Apgar Visitor Center We entered the park and did our first stop at the Apgar Visitor Center. This is located on the west side of the …
Traveling to Big Sky Country
Our family vacations are a HIGHLIGHT of our year! And we experienced such a wonderful time together as a family. This year has been filled with changed or cancelled plans for everyone, including us, and it was a little miracle that this trip happened. Our original plan for our vacation was to go to New …

Here are our favorite spots: Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area Billings Montana Temple Fort Union Trading Post Glacier National Park (Day I, Day II) Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument Museum of the …
Home Library
Ever since the beginning books have been a BIG focus in our family. When Mark and I were first married we would buy a new book every month. We were both so excited to pick! And, lucky for me, Mark appreciates a “pretty” book. I will pick a hardcover book EVERY time! They are just …
