Red Lodge

Yesterday I spent my Saturday with a great group of Pretty Eagle kids at a Cross Country meet in Red Lodge, MT. My roommate Sarah is the assistant coach for the team, so I decided to go along with her to the meet (mostly for fun and to support the team and also because I heard Red Lodge was a gorgeous town, on the edge of Custer National Forest, just above Yellowstone.) It was a fun time! The team has kids from 3rd grade to 8th grade. Sports are really big around here, so they train pretty seriously even though it's only elementary and middle school. Our school did really great and they all finished in the first wave of each of the races (they had races for 3rd-5th grade girls, boys, then middle school girls, and then boys.) We were probably the best (and biggest) team there. Go Pretty Eagle!

A few of the younger kids from my classes were at the meets with their families, cheering on their older brothers and sisters. It was fun spending the day with the kids and coaches. Not to mention in this gorgeous spot!

Sarah and I were talking about planning a trip back down this way sometime soon to do some more sightseeing and go on some hikes! Can't wait to explore more of these beautiful parts of Montana.
