Today finds me waking up in an Air B&B in Bozeman, Montana just a few blocks away from Montana State University.  Last night John, Aaron and I got to go to the first ever Wildlands Festival and see Robert Earl Keen.  Swoon!  I love his music, his vibe, basically everything.  And as a bonus, Lukas Nelson was the opening act.  He was amazing and sounds just like his papa, Willie Nelson.  Such a fun night!

Then this morning we packed the truck back up and headed down to our old stomping grounds of Ennis, Montana.  John and I lived here 1997-1998 when we were first married.  John worked as a part time public defender and part time associate at a firm in Virginia City.  Virginia City is a super cool old ghost town.  Google it 😉

We got to the campground we were planning on staying at around 12:30 and were lucky enough to find one spot open.  After we got everything set up, it was time to change into our swimsuits and enjoy the Madison River which runs right next to the campground.  We sat in the river drinking beer while Aaron skipped rocks and found a fairly spectacular mud hole to stomp around in.

The sun set as we made dinner and because of the CRAZY dry fire conditions around here we skipped the campfire and had raw s’mores instead(it’s still just chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers, it’s not like it’s going to be bad!).  Now I’m writing by headlamp and ready to snuggle into the sleeping bag.  What a beautiful day!  Tomorrow is a new one.  Smile and breathe xxoo
