Glacier National Park

On Monday we loaded up the older kids (Omie and Kug watch Luke and Barrett) and we headed out to Glacier National Park.

This is me trying to keep Griff occupied while we waited for our food. We couldn't start off a day of adventure without lunch!

Apparently Cort and I have a thing for dirty old men

Once our bellies were full, we took of for the Trail of the Cedars nature trail.

Going, Going, Gone!

Then we were off to Logan Pass.  Not without first sitting in construction traffic on the Going to the Sun road.  When we finally made it to the top there was no where to park.  After circling the parking lot several times with no luck Cort started to have an anxiety attack so I quickly jumped out of the car and kindly asked a man sitting in his car if he was leaving.  When he said yes I just stood in the middle of the spot to reserve it for us!  All was well!
Griffin did quite a bit of hiking on his own but took full advantage of the free ride also!

It's a good thing that we finally saw a mountain goat because Griffin said about 900 times, "I wanna see a mountain goat, I wanna see a mountain goat mom!"

The only place that I have ever seen snow in August!

Cort did her fair share of toting this guy around too.

This place is just breathtaking.  Everywhere you turn is something new to take in!  I'm so glad we got to go!  Cort and I agreed that we both missed our husbands on this trip.  Mostly, because they would have been the ones driving home so that we could sleep in the back.  Haha, I joke!  Neither of us had been there without them so we really did miss them.
