WANTED: A TRAVELING COMPANION FOR MY HUSBAND
Must enjoy being in a car for a minimum of 500 miles a day, stopping countless times for 5-30 minutes seeking the perfect shot (depending on the right camera angle or lighting) of every tree, mountain, stream or animal sighting before stopping to eat and/or sleep. Apply immediately to be considered as our next trip is currently being planned.
We traveled thru Utah, Idaho and Montana for more than a week (July 6-15) to care for Kaytee and Josh’s three little girls (Adyn, age 10; Skylar, age 7 ½ and Thoryn, age 3) while their Momma went to Girls Camp with the young women in her ward. We reserved a 1-bedroom timeshare condo in Columbia Falls, MT not realizing it was a 4-hour drive from Anaconda and within 40 miles of the Canadian border, but Ed was thrilled to have a chance to go back to Glacier National Park, without forest fires burning all around us.
It was a noisy, busy, more-or-less uneventful – but exhausting - week. The two older girls shared the bed-in-the-couch and Thoryn slept on a big thick blanket on the floor after wearing themselves out in the swimming pool. We watched several movies … everyone ate well … and celebrated my birthday on Sunday, July 15 with surprise cake and ice cream on Friday night (which we polished off at breakfast on Saturday) before taking the girls back to their parents, then heading home to get ready for the next trip.
