Glacier National Park

We went on a 3 week road trip and visited Glacier, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Nauvoo, Crazy Horse Monument, and probably a few others I forgot to mention. Out of all of the National Parks Glacier (located in Montana) was by far my most favorite one. I was born and raised in Alaska, and it reminds me of home! It was glorious. It was a plethora of waterfalls, rivers, lakes and beauty, beauty, beauty....mmmmm. You are allowed to fish there, but no hunting coyotes and boy, didn't they know it!!! There were wildflowers everywhere...I could go on. The family picture on our blog was in Glacier on our way to Avalanche lake. Avalanche Lake is also all the pics you will see of the boys playing. It was my type of paradise. We took some pretty looooong hikes, but were able to see some wonders. I think we hiked about 20 miles total when we were there. The kids were troopers, as well as Hunters, Trappers, Fishers, Riders...haha! Enjoy the pics. I will also be posting ones of Yellowstone, Crazy Horse and of course Nauvoo, which I also loved and adored.

We are Where?

We are alive....well,half alive...I won't lie...barely there. I don't have any pics yet. I first have to find my camera then possibly wipe the mold off of it, because I swear, everything here has mold on it!! It is absolutely beautiful here. I miss my frinds dearly. Erica, i want to give you a hug and then cuddle the twins!!! Kiersten, thanks for the Blog addresses. I will be visiting yours and Erica's very soon to get my fix and updates. I will check in soon the missionaries are here to eat on the floor because we haven't a table yet!!!! So much to tell so little sanity... I mean- time!!

Glacier National Park

OK, no pics yet but I just wanted to let you know that we are in Glacier National Park, in Montana. We are having a great time. Today we are hanging out we've watched Golden Compass (yes, I know anti-Christ) and Spiderwick Chronicles (I absolutely LOVED). The kids are at the park as I am about to go to the laundromat!! Aren't vacations great!! Yesterday we saw some amazing creations! It's a taste of Alaska (my home) here and I have been reveling!!! As we were coming out of the visitors center yesterday we couldn't figure out why everyone was so enamored by our Chevy Venture van? It's 7 years old, nothing special? It wasn't our van, sillies...it was a Big Horn Sheep!! Licking the salt off the pavement right behind our van! WE followed it around the parking lot for a while, it blatted at us a couple times. We took a lot of pics (which I have no way of posting yet) and we loved every minute. We also saw a coyote, that Lance COULDN'T get a couple pops off at!!! Lucky coyote in a National Park. The best part of the day was standing a few feet away from Rocky Mountain Goats as they licked the salt off the rocks. Some were on a cliff and others were right beside us licking the ground. I got some adorable pics of the babies!!! I know you probably aren't even reading this anymore since it goes on forever. I love all of you, thanks for stopping by~Lori PS Did I invite everyone the right way this time? Let me know!
