Montana Reunion

We had a fabulous weekend in Montana!! These pix aren't in order, the fun was non stop so I just picked a few moments to share. :-) By Friday night everyone had arrived, and the games began......

on the beach waiting for the boat to arrive, a splash fight, I stayed clear of that! Eric and Luke however were in the heat of it, Liam sat and instigated and Jackson "tried" to stay of out things.

hey Bella, what's up?

ok, so here's the looooong story, awhile back we blogged about the haunted house in Montana, the house is abandoned, and everything is still inside waiting for the owner to return.... or has he... moi hahaha, anyway, here is the link to the old blog, just so I'm not repeating myself... http://deanandselena.blogspot.com/2010/02/haunted-jaunt.html now to continue. Jade, Chels and myself got this idea to go to the house in the dark... ( da da daaaaaaa) if you had been watching us on TV you would've yelled at us not to go in.... but we didn't hear that. Anyway.... we were going to get a ride, but then decided to walk, so in the 25 minute walk, the sky turned black, black. black. No big city lights here! And our imagination was having fun with us, we saw logs that looked like people, heard sounds that were eery, saw bats fly by, and talked about every horror movie we know. Just as we were arriving, Jade's dad, Dean, arrived with the truck ( later we would find out just how thankful we were for this motion ) so, he drove us up the long driveway, thru the waist high grass, and shone his truck lights on the house. It looked creepy! Jade and I had a flashlight, so we pushed forward, arrived on the stoop and waited, then got the courage to open the screen door, what do we see... written in dust on the window BEWARE, it stopped us dead in our tracks!! I wasn't expecting to be that scared... yet lol ! anyway, we knocked ( gotta be polite to ghostys ) thankfully there was no answer. We pushed the door open, still not entering, and flashed our lights around, to the left is a bedroom, with blankets all balled up on it, and yep, it looked like a body lol! We finally took the first steps in, shining lights, trying to take photos with uncooperative camera... it was just too dark for them to want to fire. The house is shaped like a "U" and I know from the daytime, that the cat skeleton is on the opposite side of the kitchen, but we didn't make it that far. At the bend of the room, I took a picture of Jade and Chels just to prove we did go inside, and the split second I took the picture, the whole house lit up with the flash, and Chels heard something, she jumped, scaring me, I screamed, we all screamed ( and not for icecream!!) and all 3 of us ran out the door, as fast as we could get away from the house, thru the waist hight grass, running towards the truck. If Dean hadn't have been there, we would have run blind, and probably would still be running deep into the forest!! We don't know what we heard, but we ran.... then we laughed, and laughed at ourselves!! It was the funnest scary moment of my life!!!

Dean and Ruby bought fireworks for the "illegal" night show! They were amazing!! I can't believe you can buy fireworks that big, and loud, and gorgeous in the States!! Ours here are like flares! I'm sure everyone around the lake heard them, someone across the lake just happened to have fireworks with them as well, and answered back with theirs!

Chan quading, this was our mode of transport to the beach, for some of us :-) most walked.
lots of boating time, and for these guys lots of airtime!! I went on the boat just to take pix, and there were lots to sort thru!

Jade and Chels slept outside, they look really comfy!
we had a big bonfire, tried to sing campsongs, and tried to tell ghost stories.... we'll have to learn some stories for next year!
Dean taught us a new game called Bones, it was a blast! I had never heard of it before, but two teams try and knock down the other sides row of bones, and they are bones, Horse Ankle bones!!!

Cheryl knocked down the winning bone!
That's kinda the weekend in a nutshell, the Reader's digest version, bottom line was, it was AWESOME!
