August 29

Well even though this was about six days ago now, I can remember almost vividly what we did. In the morning we were planning on leaving our house to go up to Glacier National Park at 10:30. Well even though we had a lot of last minute decisions to make on what to bring because we were sure whether or not Ben was going to come with us at that point, we left the HOUSE then.Our plan was to stop by the movie store quickly to get some movies to watch on the eight our long drive up to the campsite, and then be on our way.

As it turned out, since we're in a tiny town the movie store didn't open until 11 o'clock and so we wandered around at the Wardrobe for a little while. When we returned, the movie store was open, but we couldn't agree on what movie we wanted to get. So we spent about half an hour debating, and finally deciding on seven; yes, it is a little bit extravagant, but we just wanted to leave and have entertainment for the long drives.

There was nothing unexpected during the drive, Larissa and I both read for a lot of the time and also listened to music etc. However we did discover that mom's laptop didn't agree with any of the movies we'd gotten from the movie store, so we watched part of two different movies, because neither would play the whole thing. As it turned out, they both have rough spots anyway, but the laptop simply wouldn't work with them at all.We got the the campground around 7 or 8 o'clock that night. I don't remember which. Even though it was a really crowded and gigantic campground, the sites themselves were almost secluded. The trees around Lake McDonald, where we were staying, were very dense. It was really nice. Though none of us slept to well that night, it was not for lack of comfort.
