Summer Vacation Continued...

DAY FIVE: (In which the highlight of the day was seeing the world's largest purple spoon! Although I forgot to take a picture of it.)

Because Antje was moaning dreadfully after doing a long hike the day before we took it easy on the Fourth of July.  We wandered around to a few sights, took a boat ride on a lake, and then wandered down to the Goat Lick at the south end of Glacier to see all the mountain goats.

We started out the day around the Two Medicine area of the park.  Here we are at Running Eagle Falls:





We then took a boat ride around Two Medicine Lake which was very nice.  Somehow I didn't end up taking any pictures....We then moved on to the Goat Lick, which apparently got its name because the side of the mountain that the goats like to hang out on is full of minerals that they'll go lick off the rock.  I took about a billion pictures of them, some super close up and some really far away....











And of course we got to see some fireworks while driving back to our campsite.  No Fourth of July is complete without the fireworks!!
