This is the log cabin where we all stayed. There were dogs and horses to play with and also a trampoline. When we asked Alice at the end of the trip what her favorite part had been, she said it was playing with the dogs.
There wasn't a tub in the house, but Myra & Alice had fun in the sink.
We spent a lot of time throwing rocks into Lake McDonald at Glacier. It was almost impossible to keep rocks out of Myra's mouth so we gave up and washed off a few big ones for her to chew on.
We were surprised Alice wanted to get in the water, but I guess what scared her at the beach were the waves, which a lake doesn't have much of.
Go Myra!
The whole purpose of the trip to Glacier was for the trek up to the Sperry Chalet, which sits on top of a mountain. Part of the family hiked up (I'm told the hike is similar in length and difficulty to hiking Timp) and spent the night at the chalet, then hiked down the next morning. Bruce was the representitive for our family.
Uncle Eric got it into his head that to bond as a family, one must eat grasshoppers together. Well, the cousins caught the grasshoppers, Eric roasted them, and I think most of the boy cousins ate them. Even David did, having earlier that day turned down chocolate pudding because of his picky food preferences. Go figure. The grasshoppers were dipped in honey before being eaten and there was also a side of huckleberries, if one preferred.
Alice saw the other kids doing it and did take a grasshopper and touched it to her tongue. I thought that was very brave of her, having not even wanted to touch one myself.
Our very favorite meal of the whole trip was the breakfast buffet at the Lake McDonald Lodge. Very scruptious, and as you can see from this picture, we were sitting nowhere near our two children for most of the time.
