Hi all. Trying to get everything updated today with pictures. Still haven't got the cord to transfer photos from my camera to the computer, but we have a lot of cell phone pix so at least you can see what we are doing.

We stayed in Hungry Horse for a week. We ALL ended up going on the zip line tour at Whitefish .... what a RUSH !!! Three hour guided tour and 6 zip lines. It was a little spendy but an amazing time. The picture above is at the Swinging Bridge outside of Libby MT. Jeff had been there before and wanted us to see it. Lots of fun except for when he was rocking the bridge and I was trying to walk across.

Weather was cool but sunny and hot on the day of the zip line tours. We had plenty of room for Jeff to set up the tent in our camp and he slept out there every night but one. Lexi and I tried to sleep out there one night with the cover off so we could see the stars. She woke up in the middle of the night afraid. When I asked why, she said in a shook-up voice .... "I can see EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING can see ME!!" So we went back into the RV.

Her first time on a horse. This is Shadow and Lexi.

Vic "attempting" to install a radio on the back of the RV to create a WiFi zone. When we get it working will remove the "attempting " phrase from what should be a statement. Still working on it !!

First time the motor home has been set up. We had a great drive up there and a wonderful 3 days with Kerry and Roxanne, who where nice enough to not only let us stay on their property but also to take the time to teach us all about the ranch and their 13 horses, 2 cows, 4 Australian Shepherds and the wonderful history of their property. Great new friends and Lexi had such an unbelievable experience. She is now ready to do her first home school unit study on horses.

The trip went smoothly. Just a few things left to fix on the motor home and we didn't really discover anything major that needs to be repaired. It drives very smoothly (meaning no panic attacks for me on this trip). It goes in next week for the awning replacement over the slide and a few other minor repairs and then we can schedule trip number 2 !!

I will try to post a slide show on the blog that has about 30 pictures from our trip. Still learning this process but hang in there with me. The idea is to let family and friends follow along our journey this next year. The closer we get to Date of Departure (mid-August is still the plan) the more excited we all get. Finally finished her home school curriculum this morning for next year !! It's a lot of work but have had some wonderful advice that has helped ease the process.
