Day 6: Today we went to Glacier National Park. My dad and Ian went on a canoe this morning and found a rope swing and a pair of nesting loons and their eggs. We heard that Dave’s wife bought some huckleberry lotion and wore it on a hike through the park, when Dave looked at the bottle and it had said “Don’t use in bear country.” Witch was exactly were we were. Heehee. Anyway we took a tiny walk and then went up the Mountain to the visitor’s lodge.

Day 7: First week of vacation yippee. Today we did a lot of nothing we just drove all day. We drove to Coeur d’ Alene. Where we stayed at a campsite that had a FREEZING swimming pool and a store. We stayed 2 nights and bought this chemical thing that made the fire turn green, blue and purple. Though it gave mom and dad headaches it was very cool I think. That about all that happened today.

Day 8: Our next day here and we have decided to go for a bike ride. We drove around the lake that was next to the campsites to a little town called Harrison, Idaho. Where we rode on a really easy trail that took us to a cow ranch and 1 cow had gotten out of the fence and it was thinking when we rode by it that we were herding it so it was running in front of us. We tried to get past it when another cow got loose from the fence and then it ran back but the 1 was still there we so called heard it until it too ran through the fence back in the ranch. Luckily the owner wasn’t there.

Day 9: Today we drove to a valley called Spokane where we are going to see the fireworks tomorrow night. We stayed at very nice campsite with pool, playground and best of all 10 cent York candies, no just kidding there were every night movies on a screen in the front of the campsite. Cool huh? Tonight they are playing the new Alice in Wonderland with Jonny Depp. I watched about half then got tired and went back to the camper. Mom was already there of course.
July 4th: Well today is the day and we will be going to see Fireworks tonight. And we didn’t do much at all today except go and see fireworks tonight and just so you know it was the best fireworks I have seen in a long time. The Finale was breathtaking! So many fireworks at once it was crazy!

Day 11: Today was another day of driving, from Spokane to Winthrop, a really cute little town where everything looks like the olden days. It was really cool. We went to a campground where every campsite had a little beach that led to the lake that was there. Dad started talking to the neighbors and they invited us to go water skiing and tubing so the next day we went and had a blast. They were really nice people and we became really good friends and had to stay another night to get one more day of tubing and skiing.

Day 12: Another awesome day and I fell off the tube and got the wind knocked out of me. SCARY! Forgot to say that now were in Washington and it is gorgeous! Today we hung out by the lake and that was about it. I got sun burnt around my eyes. OUCH! It hurt a lot!
