Glacier National Park-4E



Hiking in the snow in Glacier National Park, Montana.





Autumn, Sierra, Addie, Chris (Addie's boyfriend), and Summer














One person at a time across the bridge.






Views from the other side of the lake on the hike back.  You can hike on either side of Swiftcurrent Lake.




So...when we got to a certain part of the trail, it was CLOSED.  We think it may be because a couple had told us they saw a bear.  If they reported that to the rangers, they will close the trail due to bear activity.  Well, for some reason, while we were at Grinnel Lake, they closed that part of the trail.  So we had to go by the road to get back to the hotel and parking area.  It made our hike even longer.  Whew!


Because of this, we got a view of the hotel from a different side of the lake!
We did over 9 miles for that hike.  For the day, I logged 27,269 steps which total 11.69 miles.  Whew!!


For dinner, we did a crawfish boil!
Special memory of my father-in-law who loved doing this with us. :)





It was so good!  Have you ever done one?



For dessert, I was excited to do an apple dump cake in the Dutch oven.


The weather was starting to roll in.


The girls worked on their Junior Ranger books. :)



So this has never happened before.  I bought a cheap off-brand of charcoal.  Eric did TWO rounds of hot coals to cook my cake.  It should have baked in the FIRST one.  And it STILL didn't bake.  It was still runny!  Totally wasted.  
Tip:  Always buy good charcoal.








Rain was coming in that night so we packed up everything into the van minus the tents, sleeping bags, and our clothes for the next morning.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
