A New

Weon our vacation stillwent to Glacier National park http://www.nps.gov/glac/ it was amazing and so beautiful. I was with my husband and my boys in our car. We were behind my husbands brother and fatherand dog Dudeand a close friend who is also visiting from the mid-west. So we caravan up through the steep cliffs and around the lush foliage, we made many stops, we take pictures of the sites that touched our souls.

We made the first stop at the bottom of the park. We stopped at a pull off spot and climbed down through the path that has been worn into the rocks and brush by visitors. When we emerged from the pines there in front of us babbled a crisp clean river, we could see to the bottom. The river traveled wisely through the jutting rocks in such a way that instilled quiet in us. Dude found his place in the shallow pool near the edge and drank his fill. My brother in-law insanely jumped in to the ice cold water, like the rest of the crazy fools who were jumping in. He had to jump 2 times so my husband could get a picture.

We drove some more up around the loop and through a tunnel and got to the visitor center at the top, it was packed. We paused for a quick lunch of make shift sandwiches made while standing near the back of the car using the trunk as a picnic table. They couldn't have been better! We took pictures of the tiny trees at the top of the mountain. The trees don't get much oxygen so they only get about 4 feet tall. They look like bonsai pines.

Gotta break for now post more later.

Yesterday was wonderful.
