Today was just a quiet day at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Abby and I spent the morning relaxing, having a leisurely breakfast and catching up on some much needed rest. We had breakfast and then played during the morning while Abby and I watched some of Season 1 of Fraggle Rock. Abby seems to love Fraggle Rock, which makes me happy. That was one of my favorite shows as a child.

After Abby’s nap, Grandpa came home from work and we went for a little drive. We stopped by their storage place to pick up the rocking chair that was once mine and then Jillian’s. We then headed towards Big Sky through Gallatin Gateway and took a detour onto Spanish Creek Road. Spanish Creek Road is a State Park Service road that cuts right through Ted Turner’s Flying D Ranch. It is a beautiful ranch and I can only imagine what this place will look like during late Spring when the flowers are blooming and everything is green. He also raises Bison and allows all wild animals to cross through the ranch. Some of the locals call it a tiny Yellowstone due to the fact that certain times of year allow a person driving through to see all kinds of wildlife.

On the way home, Grandpa took Abby and I through several roads on the outskirts of town. Of course we saw plenty of mule deer, as it was dusk. Its amazing all of the beautiful places through out town. Bozeman is such a beautiful place, any time of year.
