It keeps on raining!!

It has been raining for the last 5 days straight. I'm not talking about a little drizzle or scattered showers. So, what is there to do when it rains like this...

Well, if you are Clint, you take the opportunity to gather up dozens of night crawlers. (He may not appreciate me putting these pictures on the blog, but I had to cause they made me laugh... Especially the sandals and rolled up pants... HOT!)

Or, you sit on the floor entertaining Bones and Dane!
Well, despite all the excitement at home, we did make it up to the cabin to do some work, but you only can be in a 16x20 cabin for so long before you get a little crazy.

Then, even with the rain we decided to brave it and go for a run down on the river. The dams have more water flowing through than we have ever seen. When we first arrived at the pull-out, the alarm was sounding warning people that so much water was going over. Here are a few pictures, and for Montana I assure you this is a lot of water...

Here is Rainbow Dam (below Great Falls)

and here is the Black Eagle Dam (right in Great Falls)

Here are a couple pictures of the baby geese (goslings) that are all along the river right now. These are the resident geese (live in Great Falls all year). They get fed by people all the time so they aren't as skittish as non-resident geese.

After a couple pictures, momma goose got a little testy, so I decided that was enough!
