Grandma and Grandpa Moss

My pictures are all out of order, but here is MacKelle on the train. Once we got going, a few miles out the train stopped. I guess the night before a big storm came through and they said that the track was under about 4 feet of mountain, so we had to turn around and come back. The train attendants said that that has never happened before. It was still fun, but MacKelle was sad that we had to turn around so quickly. Here she is looking out the window pouting a little over our short trip.
Trace and I on our train ride.

After our ride, we got ice cream, and we couldn't resist another photo op, with the hats matching the wall, cool, huh?


Here is a pic of us after our train ride-Love the Hats!!



I love this picture! I think he looks so cute in that hat!




This picture turned out kinda dark, but we had to get some with the boys. One side of the train has booths and the other side had at counter-like table that went down the side with chairs (Like bar seating, but not as tall), so you're sitting facing the windows.






Kylee, Dena, and MacKelle looking lovely!






When we went up to the Lady of the Rockies, there was a chapel with walls that had women's names on them (a tribute to women).



This was up at the Lady of the Rockies statue, below you can kinda see Butte MT.




Here are the kids with the Lady of the Rockies (a good nostril shot of everyone)




This is looking down at the Butte area. We were at the very top of the Mountain. Notice the little chipmunk admiring the view too!






Here she is again. It is a statue of Mary, the mother of Jesus. If you drive on I-15 through Butte, you can see her up on the mountain.


But to get up there, some of the roads were a bit treacherous (I was terrified! Most of the time there was strait up the mountain on one side, and strait down on the other) It was an adventure!



We rode a school bus on the way there and back, here is Justin and Paul.



MacKelle was really excited to ride a school bus for the first time.

We stayed at Fairmont Hot springs resort, the pools and room were awesome. I loved that the water was so warm. The kids loved it, Mason too!


I think they would've swam every day all day if they could. They sure slept good once we got them in bed. (Except Mason, who decided that he didn't want to miss a thing and didn't want to sleep much at all-sorry to all of you who had to share a room with us Ü)
