Liberty's 1st Montana Girls Camp

I dropped Liberty off for Girls Camp this last week. And off she went. It sounds like she had a great time! Here's the details-- They went to a place by a lake and stayed in cabins. The water was cold! There were girls and fun and oh yes... moose. There you go- that's what happened! At least that's all she told me!!! ;) Oh teenagers! (They are going to be the death of their blogging/ detail mother!!!)

Memorial-able Camping: KOA

The West Glacier KOA was so great!
After our stroll through Glacier we came back to do a little swimming while the men folk got dinner started. The kids were so excited and it was heated a bit so I even like it!

The KOA also had a fun playground. The little kids played there while the "big" boys (ok and some of the girls) played 500 or rode bikes.

The Jacksons and the Paynes got RV spots next to each other so we spent a lot of time hanging out there. It was perfect because they had the firepit for S'mores and to keep warm, a BBQ, the RVs, a road for kids to ride bikes and a covered patio set. So fun! Brett even had the boys boil an egg in a plastic water bottle. Too funny!

But we also completely enjoyed our little cabin. Everyone had a bed to sleep in. Justice made us breakfast and it totally protected us from the rain. So great!

What a great place to camp!

Memorial-able Camping: Vistor Center and McDonald Lake

After breakfast and everyone was ready, we headed on a road trip into Glacier National Park. Our first stop was to the Visitor Center near Apgar Village. Nothing big but got to check out signs and have a few races. ;)

Then we made our way to McDonald Lake for lunch. It was so beautiful!!! We ate, visited and the kids skipped rocks and waded in the cold lake a bit. It was perfect until right before we left when it down-poured rain. ;)

Memorial-able Camping: Friday Night

Our new friends, the Jacksons invited us and the Payne family to go camping with them for Memorial Day weekend in West Glacier, MT. We can't get to ANY camping equipment right now due to our fun living situation ;) so we thought we would have to pass this time. But they were staying at a KOA Campground that happened to have cabins available. Yeah for us! 

We made it up there Friday night in time to join them for dinner down the road at a Cafe'. They had put our group in the backroom which was a good thing because we were so large and so loud. The only thing is that the room had an echo so we seemed even louder than we really were. LOL

Back at the KOA we started a fire, ate s'mores and boiled water in a plastic bottle. We adore the Jacksons and the Paynes. They are such fun people to hang out with!

It was late before we parted ways but we had decided to have Justice work on some of his Scout requirements while we were there. So when we got back to the cabin, the boys (and Victoria) pitched  a tent in front  of our cabin. It was a bit tricky because it was raining and it was on cement. They got very creative in how to stake it down and keep it up. LOL Justice and Victoria spent the night out there in the rain. Brave kids!

In the morning, Glory checked it out with them. Cute kiddos.
