Lucky to call Montana home
A simple, three hour float down the Blackfoot River truly makes me appreciate living in Montana. In three short hours we watch in their natural habitat a Merganser Duck family scampering up river, diving in and out of the water searching for fish; an immature bald eagle, flying through the trees; sucker face fish holding on to the river bottom and several ospreys, meandering up and down the river gazing for food. When Addison sees the wildlife she still says, "Oh, wow!" She is so right! It is rare to be surrounded with such natural beauty. In my few out-of-state adventures I have found one thing to remain the same, the grass isn't greener any where else!
I hope Addison grows with appreciate of how lucky she is to grow up in such a peacefully, beautiful place. I hope she continues to find joy in learning about animals and the niches they call home. She sure loves being on the boat and floating the river. She loves to row, which makes Daddy very happy!!
