9/1/16 A tour of Great Falls including my Dad's old stomping grounds as well other sights around the city.
1 Breakfast in Great Falls. The biggest portions we've ever seen. Giant pancakes, omelettes, and cinnamon rolls.
2 Checking out the geese at Gibson Park. This is the lake where my Dad grew-up playing hockey in the winter.
3 Driving by the house where my Dad lived from birth until age 11.
4 Checking out the house where my Dad lived from about 6th grade onward. I have vague memories of this house from my last trip here 35 years ago. It's been heavily remodeled since then.
5 The back of the house.
6 This used to be a corner grocery store that I also remember from a previous trip.
7 My Dad's high school. His 60th reunion was this weekend!
8 The hospital where my Dad was born.
9 The flour mill where my Dad worked summers during college.
10 Several shots from Giant Springs just outside Great Falls. One of the largest fresh water springs in the country.

14 Can't resist dipping your feet in a fresh water spring!
15 Some shots from the Great Falls of the Missouri, where the city gets its name. Ryan Dam has significantly changed the falls, but it's still impressive to see.
16 Dad and Kyle crossing over part of the Missouri River.
