A Bozeman Afternoon

          After two days of fly fishing, our family decided to have a down day at the house.  Thursday was a day to relax together and enjoy a day with no plans.  In the morning, Stuart, Courtney, Spencer, and Lara went on a drive to explore Paradise Valley.  The group saw a beautiful creek teeming with wildlife.  The kiddos played around the house and got in a few morning naps.  After lunch, our family drove into Bozeman.  Half of our group went downtown to explore the shops.  Gram, Pa, Audrey, Claire, and I went to the Museum of the Rockies to visit the kids' exhibit of Yellowstone and see the dinosaurs!  The museum was very impressive.  I could have spent a lot more time reading about the different eras represented, but my 3 year old has only so much tolerance for museum exhibits.  She did love the children's exhibit, the working historical farm, and the dinosaurs, though.  When we finished at the museum, we joined the rest of our family downtown for ice cream!
