Things that were interesting were: dinosaurs, the old fashioned room [room covering daily life in different decades], and the treasure room. And I really liked the drive. It's so pretty. Amanda says- This morning we bid farewell to our temporary home outside of ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=116 Today, Mandy did as she said she would. She packed and did laundry and prepared food for our journey home. Avery helped. Today, I was frustrated by camera glass that was too short and too long. I went over the top to Many Glacier this morning. I ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=115 The days I mention in the posts are our complete days at the park. We arrived on Monday noonish. We paid our admissions and went into the park to the visitors center. So technically Monday was our first day. Tuesday was our first full day at the ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=113 Huzzah! No hours of driving! I stayed with Avery today as she fished. I was the reader and bear-keep-awayer. I read to her from the novel Beauty Sleep and I blew a whistle every time I turned the page. I don't know if my voice or the ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=112 I tried to go fishing, but it didn't really work. I didn't catch anything anyways. I also tried skipping rocks.

Then I need ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=110 Today was a full day of fabulous scenery. Our plan was to go up Going to the Sun Road as far as we could get. Going to the Sun Road is the only road that crosses the continental divide within the park. It doesn't have the altitude ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=109 Yesterday we got to go on a boat ride! It was relaxing and very informative. Avery was a bit nervous. She thought we might sink. We also hiked to see Running Eagle Falls. It is an amazing double waterfall, one above the other. Avery and I also ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=108 Yesterday: I liked the boat ride, the waterfall and the ground squirrels. The Huckleberry ice cream was VERY tasty. Today: I liked the hoary marmets because they are so cute and they burrow under the snow. They are so funny. I also got to see a bear. ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=107 We had a busy morning. We went over to the East side of the park took a couple of easy trails and had a boat ride on Two Medicine Lake. Mandy's knees are better but still sore. So today was a strolling rather than hiking day. ... http://laelporter.net/blog/?p=106
