Last Seen in Ennis Montana...

Montana here I come!
Thanks to Papa and Tu Tu for providing us with the most amazing Cabin! It was surrounded by lush green lawns and all kinds of wildlife.
The moutains looked purple in the sunset, it was difficult to capture with the camera but it was so beautiful! We were also showered and entertained with heavy rain and thunderstorms but the lightening made it well worth it as it would light up the "Big Sky".
Riley loved going to the window and seeing all the animals that would pass by including cows, deer and horses. He really worked on his animal sounds this trip. Next time you see him ask him what a horse says, its hilarious!
Brown Trout The one that got away, that Paul would have let go anyway....
As you may know Riley is happiest when he has a ball to kick around. We didn't bring one on this trip because we didn't think we have a problem finding one in town. Little did we know that a ball would be so difficult find! Luckily after checking nearly every store in town the Hardware store sold us the last one in stock... A bright orange lopsided handball.
There are only a few places to eat in town and our favorite was the Ennis Cafe, Riley was all smiles after his Mickey Mouse pancake with whipped cream!
Papa and Tu Tu took us to The Yellowstone Bear and Wolf Discovery Park. Riley LOVED checking out the bears and growling like them too!
Playing with Uncle Larry's dogs Montana and Madison
Odell Creek Ranch and Wetlands
Riley went on his first river "float" down the Madison River. He was a bit weary at 1st but he managed to make it through with a smile on his face.
Having an Ice Cream Cone in Virginia City.... This Ghost town was so cool and filled with so much history!

Of course he has the perfect jeans and shirt for the western life!  But are those really COWBOY BOOTS on his feet?
