Day Two...

Day two of our travels took us from Missoula, MT to Billings, MT (basically). The morning started with a little bit of pamper time for me - hair cut and color from Jim's cousin. That is always the fastest two hours when we can just chat and not worry about any one listening since she opened the salon just for us!

When I got back to the house we said our goodbyes and loaded into the van and hit the road! There's a bison farm along the way but it was snowing so hard it was tough to get a good pic.

Rylan, once again, was thrilled with the train tracks on his side of the car.
There were SO many bald eagles through about a 5 mile stretch. It was still snowing hard so I think that pushed them down into the trees, this one was working on a fresh catch from the river.

These were just two, of the five in this tree.

Once we got a couple hours east, the snow stopped and it was easier to see.

More trains for the little guy.

Continental Divide, getting closer!

One of the neat old buildings west of Bozeman, took this one while I was chatting with my mom on the phone... multitasking!

One last shot on the east side of Bozeman Pass. Not too much later, the sun was down and we were driving in the dark again.

This leg of the trip is usually 5 hours. And wouldn't you know it... we pulled out of Missoula at exactly 1 pm and hit the Laurel exit at 6 pm! It was so nice to be able to, safely, travel along at 75-77 mph for the majority of the trip.

Grandma has had some fun things planned for the kids. They've been baking, to Build A Bear, Chuck E Cheese, out to lunch, eye exams (and yah, it was of course mommy who need the new Rx... again, their vision is great!), Zoo Lights and right now they are out delivering plates of the goodies that they made and cards that Karleigh drew to the neighbors! They're having a great time and are very excited for tomorrow!
