Hi Mandy,
I live all the way in Dillon, MT but we go to Missoula quite often. It's nice to see another unschooling family kind of close by & it would be nice to get us all together sometime soon! If you want, you could join other MT Unschoolers in the groups section under Montana Radical Unschoolers. Hope to see you there!

Hi Mandy - I am in Missoula - my kids are older than yours, but I know some 8-9 year old unschoolers in the Stevensville area who come to Missoula quite often and play/visit at my house or at local parks.

If you are ever interesting in meeting more unschoolers, let me know.
