It was overcast and cool this morning. After doing the routine things we sat outside for awhile. Later we had Turkey Bacon and Eggs for Brunch. It finally got sunny and the kids got to float in the lake. We sat outside until we got too hot then came inside the RV and rested. Supper was smoked sausage and fried potatoes. We walked the loop road and then watched our last episode of Longmire.

Austyn drove us to Bigfork to our fishing access site and we cleaned it up good. We stopped at the grocery store and the trash site. It rained off and on or was overcast most of the day. We just sat around. Later we had soft tacos for supper. Then we drove the kids and the dogs up to Jewel Basin--Camp Misery to look around. We all walked and explored a bit. It is a really pretty place and you get some great views of Flathead Lake and Flathead Valley as you go up the forest road.

Monday - July 8
This was a routine morning around here. The trash needed to be hauled off, then we stopped at Gardner's RV for a toilet gasket. We were very brave and went to Walmart (which almost killed us)! After getting home and unloading our stuff, Steve & I napped. Kristi and the kids floated. We fixed supper and watched Ninja Warrior.
Tuesday - July 9
Today my Mom would have been 100 if she were still alive. I still miss her. After our routine duties we picked up trash on the entry road. Everyone got dressed and we stopped for gas and ice then headed up to Polebridge. I wanted everyone to get a Huckleberry Bear Claw. There was road work on Highway 2 - so we re-routed at Columbia Falls and took Highway 486. It was a gravel road most of the way. We arrived at Polebride about 12:30 and had a half of a sandwich and 1/2 of a Huckleberry Bearclaw. They were both delicious. We went on in to Glacier National Park and enjoyed a beautiful drive. Steve took some pictures of Austyn by an old cabin in GNP. He is trying to take some Senior pictures for her. We returned back through GNP on Camas Road. Then we stopped at the Huckleberry Place in Hungry Horse and got Ice cream. The best place to get Huckleberry Ice Cream and lots of other stuff! I love this store. We got home about 4:30 or 5:00 PM. When we got back to the RV - we noticed a car parked on on 2 BIG rocks entering the parking lot the wrong way. In order to report this to our boss, I took some pictures.. Since we were all hungry we went to town and ate pizza. Finally I called the non-emergency number for the sheriff to report this car, after I left a message for our boss. All of us were pooped and we went to bed soon after getting back to the RV.

Wednesday - July 10
This morning we cut our walk short because there was a dog loose in the road where we usually walk. After doing our chores we loaded the laundry and went to town. It took about 2 1/2 hours to do the laundry. Next we picked up trash at the Bigfork access. We ate lunch at the Mexican Place near the laundry. I wasn't too happy with my lunch and again the service wasn't great. I don't plan to eat here again. We returned to the RV and put away stuff. Steve installed Kristi's new car battery and cleaned out the back of his pickup. We also re-made the bed (clean sheets)! Later Krist and Austyn went driving so Austyn could practice. Some had ham & cheese sandwiches for supper and later we had a campfire and S'mores. I was good for once and skipped the S'mores.

Thursday - July 11
It rained overnight. Steve woke up at 4:30 AM for some unknown reason so he picked up the trash. He said he might have slept a little bit also. Then we walked the dogs and cleaned the latrine. A few other things we took care of: dumping the black tank, re-leveling the RV. We keep having to jump start the RV, not sure what is draining the battery. We sat outside til we got hot then watched TV. Tonight's supper was pork chops, baked beans and chips. I put the TENS unit on Steve so his back would feel better tomorrow.
Friday - July 12
Steve did some more weed eating and picked up the trash before I got up. After doing our other chores everyone cleaned up a bit. All of us but Steve went to Kalispell and toured the Conrad Mansion. I think Steve was tired of riding and just wanted to stay home. We left about 10:15 and got home about 3:30. This Mansion was built by the man who founded Kalispell. It was a nice tour and the house had many interesting features - including a porch with a little stream next to the dining room. They didn't allow pictures - which was not great. Kristi and the Kids and I all enjoyed it and ate lunch at Costa Vida. It is a fast food Mexican buffet. I like to eat there. Supper was burgers on the griddle.
