oh ya.... camping!

It was 2 weeks ago and I still haven't mentioned anything about our camping trip! We went down to Glacier National Park and camped at Fish Creek Campground, just one of the many beautiful campgrounds in that area. Our campspot was perfect, full of trees and really quite private. The campgrounds are along the side of Lake MacDonald which is settled right down in the mountains. We went swimming a few times and loved the breathtaking scenery, and it really wasn't that cold! We enjoyed the amphitheatre program that was put on each night and learned a few things about moose, the history of the Park and the Going to the Sun Road. At one of the little shops we purchased a book called "Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Montana's History" and read a chapter or two each night by the campfire. What a fun book! We did a few short hikes and took in as much of the area as we could. We saw bears, mountain goats and sheep, hummingbirds, lots of Wesley-type things, the cutest fuzzy yellow caterpillars, and the neatest spider web I have ever seen. I have never been down that way before and had no idea what I was missing, it really was something else. It was a relaxing and very fun 4 days. Neil and I were hoping to find a spot to call our own and begin years of camping trips and we both agreed that we found that in Fish Creek. Here are a few highlights from the trip. We can't wait to go back!








This is my favorite picture from the trip- the reflection of my shorts in the window makes it look like this bear is wearing pants! Hahaa!
