Hot!

A little catch this weekend:

Went to the rodeo yesterday. Here is one of the sheep riders (mutton busters) falling off of a sheep. These kids are about 3-4 years old!

Pepper has made friends with the cats:

11th Sunny and hot

Brandon started baseball this week. He had two games - one Monday and the other tonight. They are 2-0. I don't know the score from Monday night but tonight the score was 11-1. Brandon has been doing great. Monday he went 3-5 and scored two runs. Tonight he went 1-3. He has played every position except for shortstop and left field. Here are some pictures from tonight.

These are pictures that I took of a fire near Helena on Monday afternoon. I was driving back into Helena from a work trip and saw all the smoke. It was caused by tracer rounds fired during training at nearby Fort Harrison. About 25 homes were evacuated but none were burned. There were several helicopters dropping water.

Here is an article on the fire (click on "slideshow" to see some really good pictures):
