Gondola Ride

 The back yard of our condo.

View from the top of the mountain.

Here we are all together on the Gondola Landing.

Today I scrapbook in the morning while Tommy and Dean golfed and the kids went on a bike ride. After lunch we went to the Gondola and rode to the top of the mountain. Such breathtaking scenery. It felt like I was on top of the world. 

We went to Dinner at the Bear Paw. I had a Salmon Burger. It was delicious. I had never had one before and it was worth it. Just a huge Salmon Filet made into a burger. Yummy.

Now we are back in the room relaxing and having some down time. I am going to scrap some more and then hit the hay.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for all my blessing, but the most important to me is my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I think about how blessed I am all the time. 

On our way to Banff

 Hayden, Harrison, Hailey and Hannah

House featured on TV Show Weird Houses

Big Horn Sheep

Canadian Rockies

We left to go to Banff around noon after Dean and Tommy finished Golfing. It was a long drive but so beautiful.

We stopped at this crazy house that this man had made. It was on the TV Show Wierd Houses. He was a wood carver and had water spouts all over this house and would squirt us as we went down all the halls and patios. It was a really cool site.

We saw a Big Horn Sheep crossing the highway. A semi truck scared it and it ran up the hill. What a sight. And this beautiful scenery was spectacular. So beautiful. 

Now we are snuggled up in our Condo and I'm ready for bed. Pics of the condo coming tomorrow.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for God's creations that he made for us to enjoy. Such exquisit beauty. I am blessed to be on this trip with the people I love so much.

 What a torrential rain storm we went through.

 We have arrived at Trickle Creek Lodge.

Pretty nice place if you ask me!

We started off the day by checking out of the motel in Flathead and going to Whitefish Lake so the kids could go mountain biking and Tommy and Dean could play a round of golf.

The golf courses were packed so they didn't get to golf, but the kids went up the mountain on a ski lift and rode their mountain bikes down. They are very brave. 

We had lunch at the cafe and Dean went up the lift with Hayden, Hailey and Harrison for a run down before we headed to Canada.

I rode with Hailey when we left. It was a wonderful drive through the border and through Canada. Even when it rained so hard we could hardly see the rode it was still fun. We crossed the border and showed our passports and they let us in. Amazing! 

Off we went to Kimberley, Canada and checked into this fabulous Condo and had dinner at Montana's. Now we are all very tired and ready for bed.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for America and grateful that there is a beautiful Canada to visit. I am blessed.

Tommy is tired I think.

We got up early and left to drive to Flathead Lake, Montana. It was a long uneventful drive. 

We stopped at Five Guys Hamburger place. Their burgers were fantastic. So yummy good.

Back on the road to find a motel. We found this one in Flathead Lake. It is very nice and cozy.

After we rested from sitting in the car all day we went out to eat at the Tamarac Brewery. What delicious food but I was so full I couldn't eat very much.

Back to the room and ready for bed. I worked on organizing my pages and pictures for tomorrow.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for this beautiful country that I get to enjoy. God is good to me!

Dean and The Boys Are Here

 Unpacked and ready to repack.

 Tired Dean from all that driving.

Three Musketeers

Dean and the boys arrived about 5pm and we had hamburgers and watermelon for dinner. They immediately went out to ride bikes and play with Austin.

I am doing the dishes, blogging and playing Candy Crush while Tommy and Dean watch the Dodgers ball game.

I am trying to keep up on this blog, especially on vacation. We'll see how we do.

We will be meeting Hannah and Hailey in Glacier National Park.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for this son of mine. He is just the best.

Breakfast with Bailee and Grandpa

 Grandpa and Bailee

Eggs, Hash Browns and Toast made by Bailee for Grandpa.

I spent the day taking Tommy to the Eye Doctor to have a film removed that was behind his lens he had put from Cataract surgery. Now he can see good. It was so bad he could hardly see out of his eye. Now he's all set for golf.

Bailee made Grandpa breakfast and it was yummy except for the cinnamon and sugar Tommy put on his hash browns and eggs. He thought it was a salt shaker. Oops!

We cleaned up and did laundry when we got back. I had to do a food order and that took awhile. Now it's bed time for me.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for doctors that can fix things that go wrong with my Tommy. They are a gift from God.

Temple Day

Sue and I went to the Temple today. Afterwards we did a tour of my garden. Everything is growing so big and wonderful. Sue is going to harvest my garden while I'm gone to Canada with Dean and the kids.
I cleaned house and paid bills and all the other picky stuff I have to do.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful to have such a dedicated Temple partner. We are always ready and willing to attend. I love the Temple. Always the answers come.
