big sky vacation
a few weeks ago we vacationed in a cabin, on an island, at bull lake montana, with my parents, for a week. it was just what our family needed...no tv, no internet, no phone service! the disconnect was surreal and pleasantly calming. a big shout out to my parents for sharing this amazing experience with us. so...grab a cup of coffee and enjoy our story in photos.
