Day 11 Glacier National Park

This was the second day at Glacier, the sun was out and it warmed up a bit. It was still chilly, but perfect. We drove to the other side and drove as far as we could on the "going to the sun" road. They told us we wouldn't make it far with the trailer, so we dropped it in a parking lot and went. Seriously we were in awe at how beautiful this place is. We kept telling eachother we felt like we were driving in a picture, I hope the pictures can do it justice, because it was breathtaking!
The kids were getting annoyed at Rich and I because about every 1/2 mile we'd stop and take more pictures. Paij especially was very annoyed, and was very vocal about it. We pretty much told her to get over it, and kept stopping. I made the mistake of telling them we'd stop for milkshakes, I'm sure that was mostly on her mind;)


We saw these mountain goats walking right down the little road to the hotel.










Afterwards we found a place to have the famous "huckleberry" milkshake. It was a cute shop and we had fun. We loved loved loved this place. Rich even bought and placed on our car a sticker. He really isn't a fan of stickers on cars, but he just had to. We all got hats and it was so cute, Ivy won't take hers off, she even falls asleep with it on, it's adorable!

Looked for you at church to tell you what a great vacation you had, but since you weren't there it dawned on me you're still on vacation! Yeah, I'm not always the sharpest tool in the shed...LOL!

Still looks like a blast. What a great summer!
