This last week (the last week of my maternity leave) the Klugs plus Grandma Barb were lucky enough to head east through the Rocky Mountains to Butte, MT, or Butte America as the locals would say, to visit family. Maddox road ten hours both ways like a trooper (thanks to Grandma Barb) and was able to meet his Great Grandma LeeAnn, Great Grandpa Gil, Great Aunt Sue, Cousin Jennifer, Betty Jo and Gary (plus a few more visitors throughout the week). We had a great visit! Maddox ate up all the attention ad loved every single minute of it. He also slept through the night the whole trip (must have been the Montana air because those wonderful nights are now gone). It was a very very special visit and I am so happy we were able to make the trip.
To close out my blog before heading into the pictures I give you the top 5 reasons why you know you are in Butte America (no I am not knocking it, I was born there and am a proud Buttite).
1. There are more pasty shops than Starbucks
2. The bars don't serve Hefeweizen
3. There is a casino attached to everything, even the gas stations
4. At the bar your bill for 17 drinks will be $25.00
5. The people in town are friendly and seem to know everyone
Oh my gosh I love Maddox's face in that picture of him and Trey. That is priceless! He is getting so big! Good luck going back to work by the way. I know that I had a really hard time, but it gets easier once you figure out your routine.
