One more of Running Eagle Falls

Just a few pics

Swiftcurrent lake near Many Glaciers Lodge

This was about a 4 mile hike (or so they say) it was a beautiful walk and good trail but it was a work out. As you can see Frank caught the elusive "twig fish" we did not know that they had those outside of Utah and although his shirt says he would sell me for a beer, luckily for me it didn't come to that. :)

HIKING, who da thunk it

Hiking, who da thunk it considering my ankle, but the path was good and not too strenuous and was worth it when we reached the falls, amazing. Walking through the forest was very relaxing, mostly because I was barely breathing :)
We then did the loop around the red rock area. Great time.

Waterton, Cameron Falls

We drove through the town of Waterton reminded me a little of Jackson Hole but not so busy or touristy (yet). We followed one street and came upon Cameron Falls they were beautiful and just a small walk to the top. Amazing view, the other picture is just of part of the downtown area.

Prince of Wales hotel

We headed to Waterton in Canada on Tuesday. The one picture is our view from the dining room at the Prince of Wales hotel where we had lunch.

Relaxing evening

So now we are going to sleep, we can hear the river outside our window. Just a little reading and maybe an episode of the vicar and then nothing but the sound of the rushing river. Good night to all, wish you could see what we have seen today.

No lions, no tigers, but oh my BEARS

This was so great to just come upon them down a dirt road. We kept our distance but they were magnificent.

Montana adventure

First day we spent the morning in Great Falls. We started at the Visitors Center which was great, they were very helpful and gave us directions and maps to what we wanted to see. Went to the "great falls", it was truly amazing to think of what Lewis & Clark accomplished given the challenges they faced. We then went to the Lewis & Clark Interprative Center this was very cool, kids would love this.
We headed on Highway 89 towards Glacier, beautiful scenery, reminded me somewhat of Texas I can see why they call Montana "Big Sky" country. Checked in to the lodge that was built in 1913. Very clean, comfortable rooms but it is a lodge, no TVs in the room. Headed out to explore and at Two Medicine lake after entering the Park Frank was able to "wet a line", you don't need a fishing license inside the Park, then on the way back we took a dirt road and saw two black bears. Beautiful, amazing day. Here are a few pics

Max's birthday

Max's 6th birthday...how can that be. Joshua had a great party for him and we were grateful to Peggy and Lyndon for allowing us the use of their house. Max couldn't decide between several themes so it was a mixture of a "BOLT" cake, Spiderman, and a few other things.










He wanted a bike so Grandpa Frank and Grandma Kathy couldn't let him down, now if it will just stop snowing so he can ride it. Great fun!

Catch up

Frank's first time on the WII Christmas Day at Suzanne's house. He has a great golf swing even on this game.




A princess tent for Emma, not quite the one I was looking for but the kids seemed to be having a good time with it.



Both my boys came up and spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with me, I guilted them in to it, I haven't lost my touch there. Was so great to finally surprise Colin with a camera for Christmas. They say women are hard to buy for, I disagree, men are the most difficult.






In mid December I brought 7 of the 8 grandkids up to spend the night. This is a picture of the younger ones playing in the toy room/extra bedroom. The older ones were either trying to beat me at Sequence, on the computer, or watching movies with me.

Perfect baby

Yes I love showing my grandkids off so I have to start right with Joslyn. She is a very pretty baby and very sweet.

Miss Joslyn

Suzanne is a very proud Mommy and you can tell that this new one isn't very popular, everyone is always wanting to hold her and I hope to spoil her with attention. Emma had a very long day with no nap but she was still sweet and is happy to have her sister home.

Grandbaby #8

A few pictures while we were waiting for Miss Joslyn to get here. We tried to make the time go faster by playing phase 10 with Suzanne
