Bells Not Needed

Kate's great grandmother had advised her to have a bell handy during our visit to Glacier National Park.  On the first night of the trip when I unzipped Kate's little bag, I found that she had followed the advice and had stuffed a bell down in with her belongings.  Between that and the "HIGH FIVE" matching bear shirts that I made the kids wear, Kate was on edge in the park.  We never spotted a bear (or much wildlife at all), and I think Kate was relieved to leave Montana behind.  Four year olds are just not into beautiful scenery, I tell ya! 

 Great fake smiles though!

We hiked to a pretty waterfall. 

 Another fun pool to ourselves!

The kids shared a queen bed again this year.  It may be the last year we can get by with that.  Lots of cuddles (and kicks)!
