The Montana Update: Day 16

This morning was pretty standard.  Wake up early, sit around and drink coffee, stare aimlessly at the wall as people slowly wake up.  Mom made eggs and bacon from breakfast.  It was yummy.  After everyone was ready for today’s adventures, we left of Tower Falls.  It was about an hour long drive.  We saw lots of friends (bison and elk) along the way.  But when we got there we learned that the lower half of the trail was closed, so we could only walk down the first half of the trail.  Blarg.  And it was raining  L

After Tower Falls we went back to Mammoth and had lunch.  Our normal lunch spot was taken, so we kind of took over some entryway thing.  We had lunch meat and cheese.  I’m a pretty big fan of that.  Then we went to the general store.  I’m not sure what everyone got, but I got mom and dad a new spoon rest!  Kimmy and I decided that we were going to start getting mom and dad spoon rests from various places because we’re cool like that.  So I got them the spoon rest from this trip!  After the general store we went to the hot springs and walked around for a little bit.

Please let's notice the sweet kid with the yellow rain jacket

When we got back from Mammoth we got ready to go rafting!  It was raining all day and rafting was cold, but it was way fun.  We got to wear wet suits and things.  The helmets were funny looking and everyone made fun of me…  And then Jesse was playing tricks on me!  We had changing rooms to get dressed in and every time I knocked on the door Jesse would say it was occupied.  The dressing rooms were all in a row and connected and had really shady walls in between so it sounded like Jesse was in all of the rooms at the same time.  It was weird and I just wanted to go rafting!  Silly him.  But rafting was fun.  It was cold and wet, but way fun.  Our guide told bad jokes, so obviously that made it better.

After rafting we came back and had chili for dinner!  Woo!  And then after we cleaned up, I took a nap and everyone else watched a movie.  Then dad and I were anti-social in the basement and just read and things.  Because we felt like it.  And we ate ice cream.

And now it’s time for bed.
