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 way to this falls and the parking lot. There were 2 babies as well but we didn't get to glimps those.

OK well since I'm new at this I'm having trouble arranging our pictures in the proper order. I'll do better next time but it's late and tomorrow is a busy day so this will have to do. Yesterday (the 28th) we stopped at a very nice state park in Wisconsin. We had dinner at the picnic tables in the photo. It was tons of fun for the kids. There was a great playground. This is where we were parked which is just the other side of the parking lot on the above photo. It was the perfect spot. Here we our our 1st night on the road. We spent the night at this Cracker Barrel in Michigan. Yup....Michigan. Not exactly on our route but we couldn't pass up a great breakfast. Now after a night at a Cracker Barrel and 1 night at Walmart (photo is mixed in with the Wis. park photos) we're at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park. We crossed the Mississippi River, the Continental Divide, and the Missouri River all today! We had such a great time and everyone is really enjoying the trip...

Here's what we'll look like traveling down the road. Cute, huh? We'll be leaving tomorrow am around 4:00. Wish us luck on our journey as you follow us along. We'll update as often as we can. They are ready to go. Just add 2 more boys, 1 more dog, a couple of moms and we're good to go! Check it out! We have solar power. It's like a giant sticker that should hopefully keep our battery all charged up along the way. I finally had a chance to finish the curtains. They came out pretty good. It ended up being 4 peices. Our 1st destination will be close to Mandran, ND. We'll be looking to stay here http://www.parkrec.nd.gov/parks/FLSP.htm . The kids have all been reading about Lewis and Clark so this should be a lot of fun for them.
