So a few nights ago, our friends Kim and Bryant Jacobs invited us to travel to Glacier on Friday and then hike around on Saturday. We jumped on the chance. We left Friday around 6 and we stayed outside of the park in a town called Essex. The funny part of the story happens now! We pulled up to the "Halfway Hotel" and it looked like a house. We new there were only three rooms, so we assumed that was it. We knocked on the door and no one answered. We weren't sure what we were supposed to do, so we brainstormed. Then a nice lady came running from her trailor. I unrolled my window and she said, "Are you guys the ones with the reservation tonight?" So i guess we were the only ONES! she told us we were in room #2 and the door was open and the keys were in the room. WOW! We drove around the building to little cabins and found this sign. It was actually a neat little place. On the hikes we went on we saw two large bull-moose. It was freezing cold and rainy and i mean FREEZING! but it was so beautiful. On the way home we stopped at this cool place that used to be a train station and is now a hotel. The hotel is old and beautiful and they have even turned some old train cars into hotel rooms. It is awesome. We also saw this really cool track snow plow. (at least i think thats what it is) It reminded me of dad, so that pic is for you :) Here are those pics. Talk to ya'll soon! P.S. WE ARE COMING HOME JANUARY 4TH-8TH! It is almost set in stone! Can't wait!

Our recent trip to Glacier National Park
