Our Montana Vacation

Finally, with a one-week delay, I'm getting around to creating this blog entry about our vacation in Montana the week before Labor Day.

Anna rented a georgeous 5000 sqft house on the side of a mountain outside Kalispell, which is 1/2 hour drive from Glacier National Park. We stayed there with Linda and our friends Stephanie and Ray and their daughter Cambria and son Logan.

Cambria and Chloe got along extremely well and were pretty much inseparable during the stay.

As for activities, one of the highlights of the trip was a one-hour horseback ride on a mountain path. The kids especially loved it.

Another great day trip was a boatride on Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi.

We stopped on Wild Horse Island for a nature hike:

Ray and our boat captain were looking very hard for some wild animals, but we were not that lucky.

Lastly, we also drove into Glacier National Park, and went on a 3-mile hike to see the Hidden Lake, which went very well considering we were hiking with 3 5-year olds and a 9-month old.
