Butte, Montana

 We decided to head up to Montana to visit Mike's cousin and decided to take a trip to Yellowstone on the way! Here are the girls at the lake, it was a little chilly! this is the only picture I took in Yellowstone, I forgot how irritating going through the park can be with all the tourists!!!

 Here we are in Butte, Montana we decided to take the trolley tour on the mines and around the town.

 playing tourist some more!

 this is the tunnel going down to the Berkly pit, this is where all the toxic water from the mines go! I think they said that it is a mile wide, a mile across and like 5500 ft deep! It was huge!

 headed down the tunnel

 this is a water fall headed into the pit

 one of the old mine towers!

another one. They also took us around the town and showed us all the old houses and buildings. It was very cool, they even talked about how people lived and made their money in this mining town~ like the "ladies of the night" and the "brothels" my kids started asking what that was!? UM We will talk about that after the tour, they forgot about it by then! It was a very cool tour, we had lots of fun, our driver was very entertaining!
