What better way to start off the month of July then with a blog from the Berndts. Our ten year old computer has been fixed and we now possess the power of digital photo translocation. I will begin by filling everyone in with the pertinent facts surrounding transgressions carried out during the month of June. Or, this is what we did for the last 30 days.
The Cooney's graciously had us over for a b-day BBQ. My brother Tim and his friend, a girl named Mallory, also flew in for this exclusive event.
We then proceeded to travel to the cabin for a quick spat of zip line shenanigans followed by the classic porch game of quarters.
Did I forget to mention that we had a Suburban? Had is the key word. We had been perusing the free car market for quite some time when this landed in our lap. A friend of ours was going to get rid of it, so we took it off of his hands. Now we need someone to take it off of our hands because the engine blew after two days of driving. Serious inquiries only.
The departure of my sibling was then equalized by the arrival of Molly's brother.
Adam and Billy spent a week basking in the glory of Big Sky Country. We visited Yellowstone National Park, travelled to the cabin, and indulged in food and beverage in the big city of Bozeman.
Checking out the Obsidian cliffs in YNP.
A bear that was black. Also known as the black bear, or Ursus Americanus.
A pair of ornithologists attentively watching a nest of hawklets.
The distinctive blue hue of the eggs of the ferocious North American Robin.
After Adam and Billy flew back to New York, I then drove to the quaint town of Rapelje, Montana for another 24 hour mountain bike race. This particular course was 14 miles long and traversed a multitude of pot-holed cow pastures. Our team consisted of 3 individuals (including myself) that pedaled from 11:00 a.m. Saturday until 11:00 a.m. Sunday. We each rode about 70 miles and didn't come in last. Although, we were still very far from first.
This week my youngest brother arrived to help me with some work. Unfortunately, a very large hail storm hit yesterday which peppered all of our cars and damaged a large portion of the city.
That used to be a cucumber plant.

Wow- busy month! Glad to see you aren't wasting your summer doing nothing. And WOW- what great pics! I especially liked the close-up of the glasses. Very cool.
Was there a bear by the cabin? Creepy. Did Molly really do the zip line? Scary. Did you guys go swimming in the pool next to the cabin? Awesome. That's my favorite pool.
