The Wolvertons

After having a blast at the family reunion, we left Flat Head Lake on Monday and headed towards Glacier National Park in northern Montana with Bird and Bob and the Tabor family (Patty's sister). We traveled on the "highway to the sun" (which just opened a few weeks ago because of snow) through the park and we stopped at Logan Pass for a hike. The hike was 90% on the snow and we saw some great wildlife (see pics). We spent the last three nights at Many Glacier Hotel in the heart of Glacier National park. The hotel is only open three months a year (June through August) and it is where Stephen King got the idea for the movie "The Shining". It was built in the early 1900s and not much has changed with the ... read more

We reach the RV destination! On Wednesday, we made the 11 hour trek out of Yellowstone National Park to Clarkston, WA. (remind us to tell you about the “shower incident” when we return). On the trip, we went through Montana, Idaho and into Washington. We had a great time that evening at Steve (Patty’s 1st cousin) and Stephanie Heflin’s house in Clarkston, where we had cold Margaritas and great fajitas waiting for us. We had a great evening on their deck and under the stars. Our kids had a great time playing with Steve and Stephanie’s kids - Rhett, Logan and Lindsey. On Thursday morning, we left Clarkston and went 1 hour up the road Moscow, Idaho to see another of Patty’s 1st cousin’s family - Beth and Greg Papineau. We spent the day with them ... read more

What a day! We left Al's Oasis in South Dakota on the Missouri River early (while the kids were sleeping). There was too much goose poop in the above ground pool for the kids to swim anyways! The landscape has changed so much from state to state and it has been very interesting. We stopped at an overlook to view the Badlands and the kids were playing in a field. Caroline asked me to come over to see a cactus and 2 feet behind the cactus was a rattlesnake! We watched it go down into its and we took off. We stopped to see Mt. Rushmore and it was very impressive! The black hills were beutiful and it only got better from there. We continued into Wyoming and watched far off storms from the RV and ... read more

Well here we are in Iowa - Day 1. We made the trip in 8 hours with one stop at the gas station where Jeff had to pay twice because it cuts you off after a certain amount of money. Great timing for an RV trip. The pictures are of us at our house, the Mississippi River, Jeff driving, Patricia driving, Ryan reading in a witch hat (don't ask), Caroline sleeping, Mitch sleeping and Jeff and the kids here in Iowa. Of course we are staying at a lake that "isn't anything as nice as Norris Lake". The only mishap was when the milk came flying out of the refridgerator because someone didn't close it enough - no one has stepped up on that one. Tomorrow we are off to Mitchell, South Dakota. Hope everyone is ... read more
