Montana (no, not Hannah!)

It's been a while since I've last posted but its been a crazy busy summer. Hunter successfully completed kindergarten, Marshall made it through 6th grade (barely) and Lily has finished with pre-K! We took our summer vacation at the end of June to Glacier National park in Montana by way of Spokane and Cour d'Alene Idaho. The weather was perfect - highs in the low 70s, lows in the 40s at night and daylight from 4:30 am until 11 pm!! I rode a horse for the first time in 37 years and lived to write about it! The kids bonded over huckleberry candies, hiking and DS games. We saw black bears (one a wee too close), antelope, bison, doll sheep (very funny looking creatures), eagles, the world's largest purple spoon and all kinds of gorgeous scenery. I could live it northern Idaho or Montana if it wasn't for all the darn snow it gets in the winter. Speaking of snow - Hunter saw his very first snow. He was very, very excited but after 2 minutes he started wailing because he didn't understand why his hands were freezing and stinging. It didn't stop him from trying to have a snow ball fight with Marshall or sliding on his butt down a glacier. Yes - there was still plenty of snow the third week of June in Glacier. We had a lovely time and it was hard to come home to 90 plus degree heat and humidity. Enjoy the photos!
