Adventure Stories for Kids of All Ages
We arrived at the rendezvous to discover that the rest of our muzzleloading club was hiding out in their tents. The rain, which had started pouring down on the previous day, had proved to be a bit much for everyone. After getting some supplies together, we headed over to sign up for the […]
Many times I don’t want to go to Glacier, though I usually end up enjoying myself while I am there. I think I imagine that I would be doing something more fun and exciting at home. It was quite the same when plans were made to hike to Avalanche Lake after the tour of […]
A Moment of Terror! Suddenly everything went dark. A sense of unease came over me. It was cold and I could barely see. I was afraid and wanted to stop but I had to keep moving for fear that someone would run in to me. I was in a tunnel – one of the 10 […]
My sister, her husband, and their 8 kids were coming to visit for Thanksgiving. About a week earlier, they’d all been sick with a stomach virus. My sister sent us disgusting emails elaborating on the 20 puke buckets and the peanut butter vomit that her youngest splattered all over her face. My mom expressed her […]
The campground bathroom is a gathering place for the tent people. From pop up campers with comfy cots to tiny one person tents, there is a certain sense of community among the users of the campground bathroom. When my parents got married, Mom insisted that if she were to go camping, there must be […]
Mom said, “Pack your duffel bags!” E ran into her room and grabbed stuff, including her bathing suit because she wanted to swim. “Do you think we’ll stay in a motel?” asked M. “Maybe. Mom and Dad sure are acting like we will,” E replied, shoving her brand new tankini into the bag. […]

My parents, sister, and I stood in line and watched as people walked out of the curtained spook house. Two teen girls stood ahead of me, texting and giggling. The line was long, but luckily we were pretty close to the front of it. A hunchbacked clown puttered around trying to scare people in […]
Hiking the Strawberry Lake Trail and Having Lunch in a Strawberry Patch Finally, we reached the alpine lake at the top of the mountain. Mom led us to a clearing with short bushes surrounding us. It was protected from the harsh wind and it was the best place in the whole area to eat […]
It was a busy weekend here in Northwest Montana albeit a hot one. Skies were clear and humidity low, but temperatures hovering around 80 to 83 meant summertime heat for Saturday’s track meet and Sunday’s threshing bee. M and E have been going to cross country track and their first meet was held at […]
