After that Tyson was dying to go and do the MAZE. The kids had so much fun trying to figure out which way to go. I wasn't quite sure how Carson would take to it, but he LOVED it. At first I wasn't all that thrilled about doing it. I thought that the kids wouldn't last and I was tired, but actually we ended up doing it in under an hour. I was impressed!
On Saturday we headed to Big Sky Waterslide (minus Tiffany, Trevor and my mom). It was a PERFECT day. The weather was great and there weren't too many people there, so you didn't have to wait long in the lines. The kids had SO much fun. They probably went down the slides 30 times...easily. We couldn't seem to tire them out. We arrived at the park at 11:00 a.m. and didn't leave until 6:30. So they had a long day and were tuckered when we got back to camp.
Another fun thing to do at the waterslide is to go on the bumper cars. Carson was SO excited to go on these...he is obsessed with cars and going fast! Unfortunately he didn't meet the height requirement...or so we thought. Carson was bound and determined to ride the cars, so after waiting his turn he just hoped into one. We thought for sure the attendant would tell him he was too little...but he didn't! What do you expect when it is a 16 year old working. LOL! Carson was so excited. I was elated that he was able to go on the cars. It seems he is always missing out on doing things because of his size. I was so happy that he didn't have to miss out on this. He has a perma-grin the whole time he was driving it around. He loved it SO much...we let him go on twice.
Sunday we spent relaxing around camp. We took a short little drive into West Glacier and let the kids throw some rocks into the river. It was a really nice HOT day and it was WAY to temping for Tyson to get into the water. At first he slipped a bit and got only his pants wet, but by the time we left his was TOTALLY wet. The power of temptation...it is so strong. This little incident although very innocent really made me think about life and how the adversary using his cunning little ways to make us succumb to temptation. At first it is so little of a temptation that we hardly even notice it. Then we slip and fall and before we know it you are trapped by his evil ways. This was a life lesson I hope to be able to share with Tyson when he is old enough to understand it.
Monday everyone went in to Kalispell to shop. It was fun to go to the stores that we don't have here in Canada. One of my goals was to get Tyson all of his school supplies. Some things were SO much cheaper than here at home. How can Walmart up here compete with $.22 Crayola wax crayons. They were a STEAL of a deal. I managed to accomplish this task about 50%. I had NO idea what some of the items were and I couldn't believe how specific the list was. The school wants specific colors for scribbles and different ones for duo tangs. I mean come on...this is grade 1! So I decided to just get what I could easily find and understand and get the rest at home. Even though the things I purchased were relatively inexpensive I couldn't believe how fast it added up. Of course it would though when you have to buy 10 JUMBO glue sticks, and 5 black erase markers!
After shopping everyone headed back to Canada, except for us. We decided to stay another night. Tyler wanted to take the kids to the drive in movie theater to see Space Chimps. So we packed up the lawn chairs and some blankets and loaded back into the truck. The kids had alot of fun at the movie and I was surprised they managed to stay awake...mom didn't though. LOL!
Well that about sums up our weekend. We all had a BLAST and hope to do it again next year.
And one more thing...Baby Grace is 1 month old now. I can hardly believe it. Time is going by so fast. She is changing more and more everyday. I am so in love with this baby, and so is the rest of the family.

Super fun trip, will definitly have to do it again next year. I can baby Grace is already a month old, how time flies.
I'm so glad you're not intimidated by camping with a young baby and had a great family vacation. It's so good to get away, especially to that area. It's my favorite, so many fun things to do.
