To finish off our 4-day weekend (previous posts here and here), on Monday we went to WhiteFish Mountain Resort for some mountain fun! We feel so fortunate that we've had such amazing weather this whole trip. We don't take it for granted and we truly are so thankful! It seems that every place we've been, …
Saturday we woke up in our tent (in St Mary's Campground in Glacier), had a camping breakfast, and were off to see more falls which seem to be our fave things these days. This hike was truly so great - probably our fave of the whole trip! Definitely top 3! We started at Sunrift Gorge. …

We're in Montana! It's wide-open, mountainous, and gorgeous so far! To wrap up our week in Idaho Falls I have to share some pics from the Zoo. It was small but they had lots of unique animals, many of which we haven't seen before, and that's saying something because we've been to quite a few …
Our week in Idaho Falls has been great. It seems to be a place where people stop as they are headed elsewhere... which is what it was for us. We just needed to break up the trip from Salt Lake to Glacier. B had a good week at work and the kids and I found …

So interesting!!! Each week has been different and had its own unique rhythm. I would describe this 2nd week at …
For our adventure on Saturday we went to Homestead Crater, a geothermal spring a few miles away in Midway, Utah. A mom at the playground in Vernal told us about this hot spring and it sounded very cool. I'm so glad she mentioned it because it's by reservation only and books a week out. Ever …
