East Glacier National Park, St Mary Lake

Well this was the most beautiful but the hardest to get to!!! Maybe because we took the scenic route instead of the main road, at check in (this is after we over heated twice without a cell phone no shoulder highway last of the group out of walkie talkie range 2 tired toddlers crazy hot out not using air conditioning windy mountain road) my mom was very stressed since they came back and looked for us, she mentioned to the happy KOA lady that the road here was way too much it wasn't safe and she the happy KOA lady chuckled and said you must have taken the scenic route the road to St Mary is 70 all the way I wanted to politely ask her to never speak of this again and to tell her this was by no means a laughing matter!!! So you would think Mark the driver of this event would be in a corner with a Miller asking for the day to be over, instead he was setting up camp organizing the truck, the storage bins sending us off to the pool to hang out..........wow you got to love mountain air!!!! We were honestly surrounded by mountains the sky was crazy bright blue and it was my sister's 30th, Uncle Shorty made the most fantastic supper!!!! It was the best bbq pizza Ive ever had!!! We had some pie for Kim and watched her open 30 presents!!! The next day we had a big breakfast followed by a big hike to a waterfall and then some more pool time!! It was our last night with Cory and Bianca its never enough time together and it always goes faster than we want!!!! The next morning good bye broke my heart!! It sucks that they live so far away!!! The boys loved every minute with Bianca and Im always happy when Im with both my sisters and my Shanny (and the rest of the Griswalds too of course!!!! xoxox) After the tears stopped we went on a boat ride thru the mountains and docked at a little creek which lead to a beautiful waterfall (do ugly waterfalls exsist?? and do creeks come from anywhere else?? anyways......) We stopped and had a quick lunch and went back thinking we were having a rainy afternoon but nope blue sky and more pool time!!! What a great time I will go back there forsure!!! Some day I will be brave enough to go on the "Road to the Sun"!!!!!!! I will of course take the "hahaha route 89 to Shelby then over so I can go 70 didn't you know" road. The little St Mary town is very cute and the park is awesome if you don't have a thing about heights its a must!!!!

The last leg

We had to drive home someday so we headed out on Saturday to Medicine Hat thankfully only a 3 hours drive!!! WE stayed at Seana and Kelly's it was great the backyard is perfect Max and Grady had a fantastic time even though Grady had to be rescued twice from their pool fell down the stairs and fell off the toilet don't worry the corner of the counter broke his fall all of this and he still screamed to stay in Medicine Hat. Thank you guys for such a great stay!!! The boys keep asking to go back to Logan's house. The next morning we got to go on our very first real train ride!! Canadian Pacific was taking short trips in honor of their 125th anniversary of the "Last Spike" all money raised was being given to the Children's Wish Foundation. It was very cool to be on a train what a relaxing way to travel!!! We never really explained to the boys where the money was going on much detail but when my mom and dad asked where Max's button was from (Children's Wish button) He told them it for making kids dreams come true, very cute!! If only the train had room for our trailer and we could have napped the rest of the day and colored watched movies ahhhhhh that would have been awesome instead we drove until 10pm that night!!! We stopped in Saskatoon to have supper with Uncle Cory and to stretch the boys legs out!!! All and all as I look back the boys did so so awesome!!!!!!! We had a perfect vacation and can't wait to do it again!!!! (I already have next years on the go!!!)

The Break Water

We were so lucky to be at Waskesui for 2 weeks so was so fantastic crusin around!!! It was very windy which meant no bugs!!! Which meant waves the boys are amazed by them and calm so how????? We chilled on the beach listening to the waves and playing in the sand, I will cherish these moments so much with the boys it was so special and so awesome to be away from "it all" and just enjoying my beautiful boys, no laundry no work no computer.......just the smell of hawaiian tropics the feeling of the warm wind and the sound of my little men playing together can it get any better........................it always does!!!!!! Thats how luck I am!!!
