Brian and I have been working lately on some of the preparations for our trip to Glacier National Park this summer. And let me tell you it's getting me super excited! So far we have booked our flights, hotels, and camp sites. But we did that a month or so ago. More recently we've started making purchases on some of the stuff we'll need for our trip. This weekend we bought some clothes and hiking shoes. We're still on the look out for a hammock. We plan to spend time this week getting our gear boxed up and shipped to his friend in Montana. (Cheaper than flying with it).
Last weekend we took a mini camping trip out to the flint hills. We went hiking at the Tall Grass Prairie Reserve National Park and it was amazing! We saw all sorts of beautiful scenery and a herd of BUFFALO! We ate lunch on top of a hill while we watched the buffalo chew and roll in the grass. It was so neat. I felt like a pioneer! We camped at the Council Grove lake campsites. Very nice facilities. And we were right on the lake! Literally I could put my feet in the water just by our campsite. Council Grove is a very cute little town. Their downtown is very old-fashiony and sweet. It was neat to walk up and down main street. We shared a chocolate shake at the soda shop and ate a yummy meal at the local Mexican restaurant. We walked along the river and looked at some of the historical areas of town. The weather got kinda scary with tornadoes popping up everywhere, but we were safe. Over all a good taste of what's to come next month!
Now in the mean time I'm back to more job applications, house cleaning, and camp preparations. Hoping this whole job thing gets figured out soon so I can breathe easy!
