Montana

Going to Montana is a really fun thing our family loves to do. Grandpa John lives so far away we have made it a family tradition to go visit him every year. We usually go in the fall, but as I started looking at the calendar Braydon starts school really early this year and will be going every day now so we decided to make it a spring trip this year. We weren't there for any more than 24 hours, but we were able to Grandpa and Zola.
We went over Memorial Day Weekend. We were able to go see Grandma Colvin's (Helen) grave. Jared and I have never been there. One tradition my family has on Memorial day is to visit graves. While we are there we share stories about those that have passed so we can get to know them better. Grandpa shared stories of dancing with Helen when they were dating, and about Jared's uncles. We had a wonderful time. The kids loved swimming at the pool in the hotel, and ask me all the time when we are going back to see Grandpa John!
