Trip to Glacier National Park

We shared an action-packed adventure with Nate's family in Montana last week. His mom, sister Sarah, and her family (Bruce, Sam, Will, and Julia) all came out to celebrate his mom's 70th birthday. We spent most of the time near Glacier where we enjoyed some scenic hikes, swimming in clear mountain lakes, shared time at the cabin we rented, and a few bike rides. Claire loves spending time with her cousins, and she and Julia had some very cute moments together. (They also had some "Mine!" moments interspersed throughout the visit.)

Glacier is 5-6 hours away, so though it's in Montana, it isn't a place we've visited since living here. The trip up there was scenic (revealing all kinds of new territory we want to explore), and Glacier does have some spectacular alpine country.

The Pink Panther soundtrack is especially for Sam and Will who introduced Claire to "the mouse," as she calls it, while riding in the rental vehicle with its own built-in DVD player. This was a big hit for the many car hours they had over the week! Thanks to Nema, Tia, Bruce, Sam, Will and Julia for being such great travel companions and making the week so much fun.
