As far as I’m concerned, learning is an all the time, anytime kind of thing. And as such, last Father’s Day was the perfect opportunity to inspire a lesson about The Battle of Hastings. We had gone out to Glacier National Park to enjoy the ideal weather and to barbecue at Fish Creek picnic area. […]
One day in mid-February, we knew that with the coming of night, something very interesting would happen. It was the day of the lunar eclipse. The moon would turn red. That morning we prepared for the exciting night to come, by visiting a website explaining all about lunar eclipses. After dinner, we went into our […]
One Friday, Mom mentioned to us that we would go on a snowshoeing adventure at Blacktail Mountain for Winter Trails Day. Saturday morning we woke up to be greeted by Dad saying, “Good Morning, M&E, it’s the day of the big snowshoe adventure.” We got ready, and ate a breakfast of Cheerios and strawberries. At […]
One warm day, we decided to hike up to Mount Aeneas. “M” had car sickness belly-ache from the ocean-like waves in the road heading up to the trailhead. She had a mint to settle her stomach. At the parking lot, a ranger came along, talked a little, and asked us where we were headed. After […]
Camping, Boating, and Bears! (Part Two) We awoke happily after a night of pelting rain, which our dad said sounded like everyone in the campground was clapping. We put on our clothes and exited our tent. We gulped down Boost and ate cinnamon bread for breakfast. Our dad had come on the camping trip to […]
The Great Event For about two weeks, we had been thinking about camping before the great event occurred. Then one cloudy, rainy Friday afternoon in very late August, our dad told us that we could expect to go camping at Many Glacier, leaving the next day. Many Glacier is a particularly beautiful section in Glacier […]
“Good Morning, M&E,” said Dad, “It’s the day of the Big Fair!” This is what we heard one Saturday morning as we woke up. This year we had won free passes for unlimited rides at the Northwest Montana Fair! Joyously we donned our fair apparel. Soon, with butterflies in our fair-craving stomachs, we arrived […]
Opening Day at the National Bison Range After a long winter and waiting for the snow to melt, it was finally opening day of the Red Sleep Mountain Drive at the National Bison Range. After driving past the cerulean waters of Flathead Lake, the largest natural, freshwater lake West of the Mississippi River, we headed […]
Just before heading out on the Piegan Pass Trail, in Glacier National Park , our dad read us the stuff about the trail in his trail book. One of the things he said he read was, “Hoary marmots terrorize visitors.” We started down the trail where the clear, shallow, Siyeh Creek ran alongside the trail. […]
Splash Pass (Wow! Free waterpark passes from the library) The next day after having picked up the free passes we had earned from summer reading, we went to Woodland Waterpark. After getting wet in the shower, we headed out into the swimming area, a place full of many exciting watery attractions; like waterslides […]
