Monday, June 24: Packed up the house, took a family picture by Puget Sound, paid off our library fines and headed east. Slept in a tiny motel nestled in the hills of Saltese, Montana.

 |
| When we arrive in Saltese, Montana late that evening, there was quite a downpour! In the morning, we awoke to a beautiful day, with our piddly little motel surrounded by magestic hills! |
Tuesday, June 25. We
drove from Saltese, Montana to Hannover, North Dakota, stopping at a
historic ranch for our first National Park Passport stamp! Arrived at 10 pm to (brother) Arlo and Heidi’s place.
 |
| The cowboy barracks at the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site. Such a beautiful place! |

 |
| Our favourite car game of "Snitch" has the boys and girls of our family competing to collect points for being the first to see a horse. There was plenty of action for this game in Montana! This paper was taped to our dashboard. |
 |
| Montana lasted a looonng time! We played a game of travel Scrabble... |
 |
| ... we also passed the time playing with Playmobil |
 |
| YAY!!! We're finally in North Dakota! |
 |
| and doing crossword puzzles. |
 |
| We've arrived at Uncle Arlo and Auntie Heidi's house! A grand hello, and then off to bed. Brushing teeth with cousins! |
Wednesday, June 26. Spent the day with Arlo, Heidi and cousins! Checked on the bees, ate good food, went for a lovely walk across the meadows, played Carcassone, stayed up late, enjoyed seeing the cousins play and play and play.
 |
| Checking on the bees! Arlo, Aidan, Jon. |
 |
| Who wants a taste of fresh honey? Everyone, of course!! |
 |
| A prairie hike! |
 |
| The kids caught some interesting bugs while on our hike. They provided lots of interest! |
