First let me just say, I am sooo glad that my parents are serving a mission in the states (Missoula, MT to be exact) instead of far across the world. Here are some general reasons why:
1. I can call them ALL DAY LONG. (sometimes I really do)
2. Montana is soo their style.
3. I don't have to worry about them getting sick and showing up 40 lbs thinner on our doorstep with less than 24 hours notice. (this happened)
4. I don't have to worry about them QUITE as much. (i still worry)
5. Mesa airport flys straight to them!
We got to go out and visit them last weekend, and had a blast! Here are some highlights from the trip.
Hiking.
Deer spotting.
Seriously delicious cherries.
Huckleberries. ("purple gold", they like to be called.)
Rock skipping at Glacier's Mcdonald Lake.
(yes, i was kind of posing..i think that was kevin or shanes rock that skipped.)
Logans pass, Glacier Park.
Learning all about Montana's wildlife at the Elk Foundation.
Apache Lake Hike.
Fly Fishing at Rock Creek, Missoula.
The list could go on!
Thanks mom and dad for letting us take over your apartment, making us delicious home cooked meals, and touring us around Montana! I can't wait to come back out!

Clarification, dad got sick and lost the 40 lbs. I was not so lucky, still on the hefty side! Thanks for taking time to come visit us. We had a blast!!
I'm so jealous. Too bad the flights are not so cheap from Chicago. Maybe next mission.....
