Missouri River Trip: June 2009

I remember now why it has taken me almost two months to get these photos up...because it talks so long to do it! Here are photos from our journey to Montana back in June. We took Maryn on her first river trip--The Missouri River! She had an absolute blast (as did the rest of us!). We were joined by my mom, Vicky, Dean's mom, Mary, Dean's aunt Beth, cousins Paul and Debbie, Dean's brother Ken and stepson Kolten, and friends Michael, Kyle and Cadence.

Too many cupcakes?

The maiden voyage as a family. Welcome to the river, Maryn!

Maryn did not enjoy her first diaper change on the river.

Vicky and Michael, having too much fun?

Is that your shoe, Maryn?
