we arrived at glacier late monday afternoon, and once we got all set up, went to have dinner at johnson,s cafe. being berkley's 8th birthday, we went to ray and joan's camper after dinner to have birthday cake. yesterday we spent the day just the 4 of us. we tried to hike a particular trail that started at logan's pass, but once we got up there it was 40 degrees, raining, and zero visibility. (see pictures below). so we drove on to lake mcdonald. even though the day sounds dreary, you would not believe the pictures we took! my favorite story is on the way back to our campsite to start dinner, there had been an accident on the mountain road, so traffic was stopped still for about 40 minutes. a gang of about 10 (grizzled) men on harleys pulled up right next to us. they are the whole bit... leathers, braided beards, you can imagine. then one of them hops off his bike and lifts up his seat, pulls out a bag of goldfish crackers, looks around to fellow riders and says, "goldfish anybody?" so the whole biker gang is sharing a bag of goldfish. not so tough after all!
the weather here has been super windy and monday night we had 2 wicked storms come through over night. the wind ripped 3 of our 4 stakes out of the ground, so at one point matt and i were holding up the walls of the tent so it wouldnt collaspe on us! the thunder and lightening coming off of the mountains were incredible. and the kids slept through the WHOLE thing!!
