I forgot these pictures from yesterday!  Or got tired of trying to upload pics to the blog!

In looking back at my calendar notes for this week - the notes are not too good, but the pictures refresh my memory.

Monday on our walk we saw deer! It was overcast and the clouds make great pictures! We did the routine stuff. Tuesday was pretty much the same- Echo Lake is always pretty and we love to take pictures of it!

Wednesday was a big day for us - we drove to Glacier National Park and then on up to Polebridge, Mt. They have world famous Huckleberry Bear Claws! And they were delicious. We got to Glacier and stopped at the visitor center - I bought some souvenirs for people at home and we let the dogs walk a little. The smoke was still there, but it was not difficult to breathe. We checked out Apgar campground and Apgar Village. The pictures tell the story.

Then we headed on  up to Polebridge. The drive was very pleasant and it was a place we had not been.

Thursday we spoke to the boss - Tony and told him we would probably leave Sept 7 or 10th.  He said that would be fine. We asked I'm about  coming back next year and he said they would be happy to have us back.  We can let him know in the spring.  It was another beautiful evening at Echo Lake.

Friday evening it started getting busy for Labor Day weekend, other than that, it was a routine day.
Saturday we saw deer and turkey on our little drive.
Sunday we slept late and took a short walk. We defrosted the refrigerator and then drove to Kalispell for supplies. It was pretty busy when we returned.  I even forgot to check the latrine today! We remedied that after we put away our groceries.

This is the Fishing/Boating Access in town at Bigfork!

The ever beautiful Echo Lake
