The Yellowstone River Bridge

The weather is finally warming up so we took our first walk. We live right by the old bridge, so we decided to walk it. Dawson was a little scared because it really is so run down and doesn't look super safe, but it was okay. We chose to walk on the road part on the way back because it looked much safer.

We waited for J.D. to drive across the new bridge to wave to him on his way home from work. He is in the white truck. They honked the horn the whole way so we would know which work truck he was in. It was so much fun to wave to him.

Dawson was yelling so loud.
We watched ice chunks float down the river and looked at the ice on the side of the river. It looks like seals, but it's just huge ice chunks. Apparently the ice chunks broke apart and the river got so high it washed away 2 homes just south of us. You can see how it looks like wreckage, but it's just ice.

We actually live in the flood plain, but it has never gotten high enough to flood where our home actually is. Everyone we talk to here is very talkative about the river. It's always the topic of conversation. So if you want to start meeting people, just talk about the river and people will just start chatting away.

We also found a small park just across the street from us, so we will probably be playing there a lot this summer. I am so excited to be able to go on walks. I just put Monty in the baby carrier and he absolutely LOVES being outside. Both him and Dawson would rather be outside any day. The only thing we are waiting for now is the wind to calm down. Monty has a hard time breathing with the wind, so we have to go early in the morning or right before sun down when the wind is more calm.
