Life is an Adventure

Everywhere you look, life is an adventure.

Jenna and Johann Otter Return To Glacier

December 8, 2008May 22, 2012 Marlene Bear Encounters, Marlene's This and That

  We were no more than 10 minutes from home visiting a bird sanctuary with our homeschool nature journal group. It was a damp, dreary, autumn day and only 4 mothers with their children had shown up. Even though close to home, it was my first time in the Sowerwine.     The group followed […]

Did RMKK Make a Difference?

December 4, 2008April 19, 2013 Marlene 2 Comments Hiking

  By M Before Rocky Mountain Kids Korner went online, Glacier National Park was essentially a retired baby boomer paradise. It was unlikely to see people under 45, and even more unlikely to see a child. On the trails, we saw numerous 50+ patrons of the park, but we seldom saw young adults and kids! […]

Too Much to Bear

September 30, 2008August 10, 2012 M and E Leave a comment Bear Encounters, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

This article is a lesson to all bears: Don’t go into town, or this might happen to you.     Our studies were finished at last, so we decided to take a walk. Maybe there would be a little adventure outside of the boring life at home. As we started out on our walk we […]

Canoe Collision

July 8, 2008May 23, 2012 Mallory Leave a comment Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

  E had been hinting about renting canoes. She mentioned it again the day after our hike to Grinnell Glacier. Little did she know that Dad had planned to surprise us with an hour of canoeing on Swiftcurrent Lake.     When we went to the dock to get in our canoes, I was very […]

Lost on Father’s Day?

June 20, 2008August 20, 2014 M and E Leave a comment Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

On Father’s Day morning, we awoke unsure of what we would do for the holiday. Instead of bad weather like we had for Memorial Day 2 years ago when we went to Yellowstone, the weather was beautiful and hot, with temperatures around 75 degrees. As the day went on, the word spread that we would […]

Family Forestry Expo

May 20, 2008October 23, 2013 M and E Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

We woke up on a damp Mother’s Day morning in early May, disappointed. The previous day, Dad had said that we would go to the annual Family Forestry Expo. But Mom and Dad watched a long movie that night, and thus went to bed very late. It was 8:30 A.M by the time they awakened, […]

A Miserable Day in Yellowstone!

May 16, 2008October 17, 2021 M and E Leave a comment Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

Excitement came over us; we were going on vacation! We were going to Yellowstone National Park over the Memorial Day weekend. It was already Spring in Northwestern Montana. Tulips were blooming and the air was getting warm. We were disappointed to find out that Yellowstone was going to have some pretty unpleasant weather. Travel could […]

Mystery in the Rainforest

May 11, 2008December 16, 2014 M and E Leave a comment Hiking, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

“Remember,” said M that morning, “It’s the day of the big hike.” E got out of bed, and decided to dress early. We were supposed to hike to Avalanche Lake, where we had previously seen avalanches. But, Dad looked in the newspaper and found out that the Going to the Sun Road was only open […]

Traditionally, the Memorial Day holiday marks the beginning of summer with swimming and picnicking. Not so, in Yellowstone National Park.
