Lily wanted a road map for herself, so at a rest stop Josh grabbed one for her. The kids then swapped maps for a bit. I glanced back and saw J.D. had unfolded Lily's map and it was completely over his head. I had to twist and turn to grab this picture, but the look on his face is priceless!
"What!?"The rest stop in Idaho had huge rocks for the kids to climb on...
..and Mommy and Daddy too...
Back on the road and we were in Montana (or the purple state according to J.D. and his map)!
I have always loved Montana. Whenever we would drive to Wisconsin when I was a kid I would anxiously await the rugged beauty of Montana. It is still my favorite state.
We didn't stay on I-90 long before we turned onto a smaller HWY which took us into a deeper part of Montana that I had never been on before. And I was so excited to see what lay ahead of us on the road. Montana did not disappoint me.
Clark Fork is one of the most beautiful routes in Montana, and I was so excited to see that we still were able to follow part of Clark Fork along our route.
Then after a few more hours of driving, we took another HWY which led us into the Flathead country. Here is a picture just south of Kalispell.
I love to read as many of the historical markers as possible on our trips.
And finally, after dinner time we arrived in Columbia Falls!
The house we stayed in.
Backyard
They had a river in the backyard! It was absolutely beautiful.
Lily waisted no time in playing with new toys.
The backyard had a river, and the view from the
front of the house was the snow capped mountains.
Yeah, I was just a little jealous.
After unpacking and getting settled in we were ready for some relaxation.
