In the morning, we headed back to Glacier National Park for a fun day of hiking and playing. Parker was being a goof and wore Brinley's purple sweatshirt on the drive there.
We took the first hiking turn out that we had taken the day before. We wanted to hike on the actual Apgar Lookout Trail.
I was being creative and took this pictures, so we could see the cool reflection of the scenery in Roger's sunglasses. Go me for being so creative!
We got way too hot! Most of the trail was through an area that had been burned in a 2003 fire, so there was not a lot of shade. We ended up turning around after we came across some people going down the trail on horse back. They told us that we were about half way. We were already pretty pooped and realized that we didn't have enough water with us to go all the way. We'll try again next year. When we got home that night, Grandma asked how it went. She said that she was really worried about us since the news was reporting that the temperatures reached a record high for that day. I think it got up to 97 degrees.
We finished our hiking trip then drove to Apgar to eat our lunch. We sat in the shade and enjoyed our food. When we finished eating, we drove to a different spot closer to Lake McDonald so we could play. It felt really nice to cool off in that water.
The kids were begging to go play at the playground by Grandma's house. So, we decided now would be a good time. On the way out, I realized that I don't have any pictures of Grandma's house. I thought I would enjoy remembering what Grandma's house looked like, when we don't have the opportunity to go there anymore.
Before we left, we decided to play a few games of hopscotch. It was a lot of fun, until Parker got upset over how the game was going and he started to throw a major fit. We had to head back to Grandma's as soon as he started his temper tantrum.
Roger was really funny playing on the playground. He ended up falling off of this toy, as soon as I put the camera down so I could switch it to sport mode. I got a picture of him on the ground, but It would have been funny to take a picture of him falling.
