I love my daddy!
We started out Father's Day with breakfast at Main Street Overeasy, and we walked, which was a good thing because Jason and I both went all out with breakfast so we reeeeeally needed the walk home. The food was fantastic and this will definitely be a place we go back to (maybe next week, when my parents are in town, what a good excuse to go out for breakfast!).
We decided to take the dogs to an off-leash dog beach that I had heard about, so we all hopped in the car to go find it. And we kept going ... and going ... way farther than I thought it was ... until the street ran out. Then we saw a pond. Two ponds! And a trail. And dogs! We figured that was it, so we let Molly and Casy out for a swim.
And we hiked the trail around one of the ponds. 

We climbed the trail up a little hill
to check out the amazing view from the top. Wow!

As we were getting ready to leave, Sierra declared, "I need to hike!" and then turned and headed back up the hill we just came down. Apparently, "hiking" means one must be going uphill.

When she came back down, we were standing near one of the ponds and she said, "I see a swan!" I had missed it, but she is so observant. Sure enough, I looked out on the water and there was a very large, white bird floating in the middle of the pond. But it wasn't a swan ...
I didn't even know pelicans lived in Bozeman!
Note: I checked the map when we got home, and we were not, in fact, where I thought we were going. It seems we had inadvertently found a different park that allows dogs to be off-leash!
Brian was just in Galena and we tried to brainstorm how we could re-create our summer of fun from yellowstone all those years ago. Ah the geothermal burns from the geysers, the bison goring us, the free lodgings thanks to being stuck into your dorm, the p&b&j sandwiches for breakfast the ripleys museum, jennifer buying us ice cream, brian's first speeding ticket, you arguing with the police officer, dinner with your parents... ah the memories. Yellowstone Chaos was one for the books!
