11/4/07 Meadow Lake Golf Resort





It was a nice break, we spent our 7 days at the condo, swimming, jacuzzing, ping pong, exercise
room, game room, very nice place.. the kids watched a lot of TV, I cooked and took baths and chased them
around the condo playing hide and seek, we swam in the pool everyday, Luc is such a good swimmer now!
We rented movies, slept in late, and several days we did not even leave the property, it was so cozy and the
views from the room were great meditation material.. We trick or treated in Whitefish, very cool downtown area,
went to a great halloween party at a christian school in Kalispell, games galore, we roller-skated 3 times
where Reese won the limbo contest every-time, and then...then we packed up this morning and
headed out... destination.... Glacier National Park. We stopped at Hungry Horse Dam, very big dam,
and took Hwy 2, Marias Pass and spent the afternoon cruising Glacier from the Eastern entrance,
we were completely alone in the park .. and it started snowing.. beautiful! Reese jumped out with a bowl
and a list of snow experiments in mind. He then wanted snow rolls (snow rolled in seaweed) for dinner.
Glacier suddenly became even more spectacular the mountains and trees dusted in snow I tried to focus on
the scenery and not the potentially icy roads.

So after talking with a few folks, i made an exciting discovery, we do indeed have propane heat in the Rv, just
had to turn the thermostat on, quite wonderful as it was about 27 degrees today, and for the past month we have
been using a portable heater which plugs in and we can only use when we are plugged in.. so funny. So now
we can camp anywhere, we don't need to be plugged in, and we have heat where ever we go which is nice
cause so many Rv parks are closed in the winter.

I am so happy to be back in the RV, i just love it. I love everything about it, it's warm now, I love the views,
seeing new sites everyday, No TV, that is very nice, the kids can watch dvd's but it is not as
compelling as TV, we play games more, they play outside more, the condo was nice, but we spent a lot of time indoors
and i want to be outside, communing with Mother Nature, it inspires me, i breathe better. We are gonna visit some
friends tomorrow who have a ranch SouthEast of Glacier. I spent the evening tonight reviewing my maps,
scoping out hot springs (we have 4-5 on our route through Montana) to visit in the next week, and reading about
the towns we'll visit. My new flannel sheets are feeling very cozy..
