On our hike in Glacier, we encountered lots of neat wildlife. Kara's favorite were the wildflowers which are so hard to catch on film. We also saw 2 marmots, many ground squirrels, and at least 6 mountain goats. Simon and Kara were super hikers, and Keith and Jacob showed us some of their skills they learned from their backpacking trip with camp this summer. Ever "boot or shoe skii"?? You'll have to come for them to give you a lesson. The bigger kids ran ahead a bit and met us at the bottom of the trail. Notice the "wild/exhausted" one we found at the Information Center :)!!

There was only a week and a half between the end of camp and the start of school this year, so we tried to make sure we crammed in some family fun! After lunch and milkshakes at Norm's News, we journeyed to Glacier. We drove up Logan's Pass and hiked to the Hidden Lake overlook. SO FUN! We even hiked on top of lots of snow!!! The kids had to reach down and feel the frigid water pouring down the mountain. We live in such a beautiful place! Ian slept most of the hike but woke up a few times to tough out the wind :)!
