Being a grandma

So Monday August 12th we zipped up to see Salmon Glacier. It’s the 5th largest glacier in North America!!! No bears tho, even though the YS forest service built a million dollar walkway to view the bears along this small creek and after talking to numerous people who saw beRs along the road (instead) all we saw was bear poop in the middle of the 20 mile one way first pothole road. 😬😒

But the seventy made up fir it totally and seeing numerous marmots, we think, they were colored differently than ours at home. These were light then got darker towards their tail and a juvenile one wasn’t even afraid of Pax or us! 6 ft. Was all the closer I’d let him get.

I did one load of laundry in a hotel 3 washers and 3 dryers and a gal with an accent asked to use one of the machines I was going to use I said yes even tho I was there first and obviously had tons of laundry to do. But when it came time to dry we ended up having a sweet conversation. I’ll just do the load in down the road got what we needed for a couple of days.

Then a family from C. Republic came in they were fun and sweet too.

After a simple dinner Paxton and Henri and I walked through the campground to the town playground that happens to border it. He lived it esp the huge tire. Like I told his mom he doesn’t to run out of energy at all. I was invited to check out the interior of this ‘great’ tire and did so after bumping my head slightly. 😛

Grandkids really do and can keep you young!!

Cliff told me earlier that he just got depressed when he looked at the map and saw how much we still had to go in Canada!!!! I’m the map reader, co-pilot etc he just drives and last time we did put in two long days 12 hours to get miles under us plus all the fires we had to swing east a bunch from our original plan two years ago. But 10 hours is the longest we’ve done so far and having Pax plus being two years older and we just like to enjoy our evenings it will be two nights in Canada still.
