Schweitzer

We are up here at Schweitzer Mountain, and in love! We are staying in the resort lower parking, right up the hill from our friends. We have shared such great times; delicious meals, fascinating conversation, and good soul warming hospitality we could end our trip now and count it a success!

I went on my first mountain biking adventure (death march) with the intention of finding eldrberries. We came back soaked from torential rains, shaking from complete exhaustion, and empty handed. Thank you Tasha, because I wouldn't trade the experience for anything! Ok, the steam shower follow up didn't hurt my recollection of the day! (Definite on the wish list for our house we will someday build!)

The kids have enjoyed some down and dirty fun; mountain biking, shooting bbq guns, new friends, nail polish, riding bikes down stairs and ramps, french braids, hucklelberry sourdough pancakes, deep, deep bubble baths, and more rain than you can imagine! We've even managed to squeeze in a bunch of school work!
We can say with certainty that we are in good company, Jillian crawled up into our friend's lap last night and fell asleep.

If this is any indication of the trip to come, we're as blessed, lucky, fortunate (choose what rings best for you) as a family could be.
