Trip to Montana

The Traveling Powells truly were traveling the last few weeks. Last summer, Brendon had completed an off-road motorcycle trip across Oregon with some good friends. This summer, it was Montana's turn. So, a few weeks ago, Brendon headed off across the country with Evelyn and Khaya. They stopped in Kansas to visit Brendon's aunt and uncle, as well as his Grandma who was visiting from Oregon! I flew out there about 5 days later... (someone has to stay home and make the money! :-) ) Brendon embarked on his trip, leaving Ev and the dog with the grandparents and aunt and uncle. I joined up and we went to Glacier National Park, where we met up with some extended family. We were in Glacier for 7 days. Brendon finished up a very successful 868 miles across Montana and joined up with us for the last few days in Glacier. The whole fam then proceeded to Flathead Lake, home of my grandparents, where we enjoyed some relaxation on the lake and Ev got to meet all the family hadn't met before. We had a blast! Brendon drove back home from Montana (this time, my sister Katy rode along) and got home last night. Whew. We are all tired, but had an excellent time!

  1. That was a great time, where is the picture of the carnivorous creature? Hopefully we can do this again next summer. Gma and Gpa.
