Ducks

Yesterday we went to the park and to lunch with papa and grandma schmidling. It was a nice outing. The ducks and geese stayed in the pond for the most part. Papa only had to shoo the geese back once.. pretty interesting watching them hiss at you.

Glacier with the grandparents

On grandpas 3 day weekend grandma and grandpa Davis decided to come up and visit us. We decided we would go up to Glacier National Park since they hadn't been up that way in YEARS. Being a Saturday though it took forever to find a parking spot once we made it up to Logans Pass. We had already gaven up hope when grandpa caught someone pulling out and he grabbed their spot (the spot was open earlier but someone grabbed it before grandpa could). We walked up "the boardwalk" a little ways to see if we could see any animals besides the marmots and squirrels, but no such luck. The waterfalls and the weeping wall were pretty much dried up so there wasn't any getting the car wet.

Waterfalls are pretty

Walked from the parking spot into undesignated trail areas to the designated trail heading to Logans Pass. This is the beginning of the trail from Logans Pass.

After going up to Logans Pass and heading back home McDonald lake looked to good to not go into so grandpa made the decision to spot. Preston ended up becoming bare bottomed and Brianna slipped and fell full clothed but we enjoyed are quick cool off.

Preston ended up sitting in the lake.



He loves the water.

Daddys birthday

Even though daddy is up at work we made cupcakes.
She poured, stirred, and put the batter in the cups.

Exploring

Chenal went to TX to see Nathan for a week so Clayton and I offered to have Jourdan (Jojo) and Taylour (Tayli) stay with us for a couple days. Today we went to Lions Lake and Hungry Horse Dam. Tayli had Clay catch some crawfish for her at Lions Lake (lets see if their alive in the morning). And pretty much everyone got sick to their stomach looking of the dams edge.

He couldn't get enough of the water. We would walk back to the bank and he would turn around and walk right back out to the water,

The drop makes you want to up chuck. At least it did me.
