Glacier National Park

So here we are....day 20....5,000 miles......Galcier National Park! The fresh fallen snow Oh yeah....pictures of our kids with glaciers. Notice the snow here on August 15th! It was a but cold (40's) and rainy but we dragged them from the car to get the pictures. :) That's what good mom's do. In 10 years the glaciers here will all be gone and we got pictures of the kids with 3 of them. Too cold for hiking that far. :( This is the Jackson Glacier along the Going to the Sun Rd. Gem Glacier (top one) and Salamander Glacier Going to the Sun Road Running Eagle Falls in the Two Medicine are of the park. In the spring the water also flows over the top of this falls. It cool. Even cooler was the Moose in our trail along ...

The road home..... Aug 16th on

Here we are at one of last meals at the West Glacier KOA. From here we're header to Crow Agency, Montana for the largest Pow Wow in the Nation. A great place to stop for lunch. We were in Grass Range, Montana at an elementary school. The dogs and the kids got to run for a while before we got back on the road. Pretty country. Some tipis at the Pow Wow. There were so many of them it was really neat to see. The picture under this one is from one of the dance competitions. From the Pow Wow we went to the Battle of Little Bighorn. Back on the road for a trip almost straight home. We stayed 1 nigth at a Walmart in Iowa and the last night at the Cracker Barrel in Indiana. We really weren't that tired. :) Cracker Barrels are awesome! They have the best overnighting! (they serve breakfast) Here we are in the driveway. Very late but we made it.

So blogging on the road didn't work out like we thought......

As you may have noticed we couldn't add anymore pictures. There's very limited cell service in places and no service at some of the places we were. Needless to sat the internet was an even more challanging thing. After trying several nigths to try to upload when we did have a signal I just gave up. The signal was so slow it would try to upload for an hour and then kick me off completely. Sorry about that. So here it goes. I'm going to try to group the pictures by date so you can have an idea of where we were and when. I think it may end up in reverse as you view them but I'm trying to figure all that out. I'll start a new post with the dates. I may try to post from the time we got home and then back so you can read them in order. I hope you enjoy the pic. We had a fantastic time! Happy Trails, Jen
