Our destination this summer was the Peterson Family Reunion & Mack Farm Centennial in North Dakota. We decided to make a longer, round-about trip out of it, to see many of the sights on the way. We packed up the Equinox and headed out early on Tuesday morning. After a lunch break in Ritzville, we arrived in Kalispell, Montana for our first night's stay. The next morning, we took off for Glacier National Park.

The scenery was pretty amazing, and we made many stops along the drive to look. We stopped at Lake McDonald Lodge, where a small stream washed into the lake. The kids spent a long time picking out rocks for their collection. This photo shows Bridget negotiating with Mommy to take one more rock.

We traveled up the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which made Daddy very nervous because it was very, very high up -- so high that we were in the clouds and could hardly see. Eventually, we reached the lodge at the summit. It was cold, windy and raining, and we were not dressed for it ... so we ended up soaked and freezing.

Our day ended in Havre, Montana, where the kids finally got to swim in a pool.
