Saturday Morning

It's 3:28 am and the Spokane airport is deserted. The first flight out isn't for 3 more hours, We aren't the first flight. The kids are all sleeping or trying to.

Yesterday was good. We slept in a bit and then Apryl and Amy made pancakes and eggs for breakfast. After breakfast we cleaned the bunkhouse thoroughly. A new group arrives today. The we helped Brothers Paul and Ray with a bit of yard work. And then we were off to Glacier National Park. We entered the park by St. Mary's The whole time were were in the park, we saw two other cars....most stuff is closed this time of year...and usually under snow. It was cloudy and there were flurries, but the mountains were still beautiful. Paul led the kids on several short hikes to see St. Mary's Falls and some other features of the park. We were glad we packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Needless to say we had the picnic spot all to ourselves not even a bear! We did see deer and elk however.

We went to East Glacier to have buffalo burgers and fries. So that was a hot meal...maybe for the day. The train was on time and most people slept the whole way from Browning to Spokane. A short taxi drive to the airport and now we wait. We decided the airport is a more comfortable place to wait than the train station.

We have lots of park pictures which we will post when we get free wireless. All of the photos can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/msafari. I don't have them all in a set yet, but I will.

See you all soon.
