Weekend Fun!

As you know, my sister and her husband came to visit us this weekend.  We had a great time and it was so much fun spending some time with them in Bozeman.  My sister's husband hasn't spent much time here, so we had fun showing him around a bit.

They arrived Friday night and we had some pizza and watched some March Madness.  Drew entertained us with his ever-changing faces and noises! We were all pretty tired from the long week, so we went to bed fairly early.

Doug had to work Saturday, so I was the entertainment committee on Saturday.  Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate very well and it was freezing.  We went to Peet's Hill in the morning to get a good view of the city.  The wind was howling and it was freezing, so we didn't stay long.  That was kind of a bummer because it's a great place to get a good feel for the town and where everything is.  After our quick stop at Peet's Hill, we went downtown to walk around and do some shopping.  It was even cold down there, so we hurried from store to store and bolted down the shady side of Main.  It was fun to experience downtown, but I wish the temperature had been a touch warmer.

We met Doug for lunch at MacKenzie River.  We had some delicious sandwiches and soup and then did a little more shopping before we headed home so Drew could take a nap.  Saturday afternoon we just hung around the house while Drew napped and watched a little basketball.  Doug got home a little after four, and we headed down to Lockhorn Cider to get some hard cider.  My sister is a fan of hard cider and I think she thought it was alright.  Lockhorn's cider is not overly sweet, so it definitely takes some getting used to!

After cider, we went to dinner at Copper.  We had an excellent meal!  After dinner, we stopped at the R Bar for an after dinner drink.  We were lucky enough that Drew fell asleep after having some dinner, so we even got some relaxing adult conversation in.

Sunday morning, we had some breakfast and then headed to Hyalite to do some snowshoeing.  It was cold up there as well, but we made do.  The snowshoe was fun, right along the lake, so we had some good views.  Drew was not thrilled with the walk back and I think he got cold, so we really had to hurry.  Once we made it back to the car, he was all smiles and giggles again, so that was good.  After the snowshoe, we headed back to town, had some lunch, and then my sister had to leave.  Bummer!

It was so fun having them come visit.  We had a great weekend, even though it was a little colder than we would have liked.  Now we can't wait to have them back again!

And a beautiful sunset to end a beautiful weekend!
