Summer Trip 2008: Glacier NP

Lake McDonald on our first night in Glacier

We saw a bigger variety of wildflowers than we've ever seen on a hike. And of course, dad took a picture of every single one of them.






This year we took a month long trip to the mainland. We flew to Utah and were there for a week and a half. I was at tennis camp for a week during that time, and almost died in 102 degree weather. It was pretty tough, playing tennis matches, doing drills, and conditioning(running and stairs) for 6 hours a day in the hot sun. But I survived and I met some nice people. Then we drove up to Rexburg to watch Heather's performance before heading up to Glacier NP. We were there for 3 days, then went to Banff NP and Jasper NP in Canada for a few days before driving back down to Rexburg for Heather's graduation. We helped her pack up and move out, and then we all (Mom, Dad, Heather, Allison, and Sean) went to Yellowstone for 2 days. Oh, we also got to go horseback riding when we stayed in a farmhouse bed and breakfast in Ashton, Idaho.
