Madsen Reunion

My brother and his family came to visit this last week and we had a blast!  We started the week by blessing Jessie in church on Sunday, then we laid sod in our yard Monday (fun!).  On Tuesday they left Helena and drove to Bozeman.  We came to Bozeman on Friday morning and hiked up to Pioneer Falls.  Libby, Michael, and Poppa Mike rode the horses and Jessie rode in the back pack on Reid's back.  Then on Saturday we drove out to the Ruby Reservoir for some fishing, garnet hunting, and a picnic.

Jessie was getting a little too much sun so she stole her grandpa's hat

Our family started going to the Ruby for the 4th of July in the late 70's with a big group of friends.  I'm not sure what year we stopped going, but it had to be when I was in high school.  We had a lot of fun riding the four wheelers, fishing, and playing in the water each year and wanted to take our families to see our favorite camping spot.  As usual it was hot, dry, windy, and covered in bugs!  But we had a great day!

Ken and Libby were mining for garnets and rubies while Jenny enjoyed the water
