Matt, Cedar and I visited Montana while Ash stayed home to watch dogs and do summer classes.  She will go to MT to visit next month.  Matt had not been home in 6 years!  We loved seeing family and friends, and being in that beautiful and much cooler (ie less HOT) place.  Cedar stayed there with cousins for a couple days after Matt and I left, and then met up with his Scouts troop for a backpacking trip.  He is currently somewhere in the middle of the wild Montana wilderness, and I am TOTALLY JEALOUS.
