Steve and Sue (Matt's parents) celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary! They decided to have a special celebration to honor this huge milestone.
So they rented a cabin at Glacier National Park in Montana and invited Matt, Lana, Grace, Glen, Chris, Katie, Ellie and Jackson to join them. Unfortunately Katie and Jackson were not able to come on this trip.
The views were AMAZING. The first day that we were in the park, we drove the Road to The Sun which is the road that goes across the whole park west to east. Then we enjoyed driving back east again on the same road.
Most of these amazing sights were taken from when we pulled off of the road (or even while we were still driving by the sights).
At one point we stopped the car and found out that there was a short hike at that pull off area. So Matt and I took Grace, Glen, and Ellie on our first hike in Glacier park. They all seemed to enjoy it.
And at that time it was just good to get out of the car and walk around.
At our cabin we played a lot of games, but one of our favorite activities was to have smores by the fire.
The next day we went to the park again and decided to do a longer hike. This one was a hike in the ceders (look at how tall these trees are).
The hike in the ceders, then followed the river.
We kept following the water till...
We got to Avalanche Lake. This lake is surrounded by mountains.
And as you can see in this image the water from high in the mountains that is feeding into this lake.
The kids had a great time walking in the lake, skipping stones,
and just enjoying some time away from the hiking.
As we sat down to eat a snack, we found a chipmunk that was very friendly.
He was very cute, and not afraid of us at all. However, we did not give him any food so he lost interest in us pretty soon.
Tired and wet from the lake, we finally made our way back down to the car.
What a great hike...what a great day.
