Sunday Update

After our orientation we took an impromptu trip to Glacier National Park, considering the cloud cover and dreary weather it was good trip to the park because we have not had the majestic views from a distance that we usually have. On the way into the park we ran into two beautiful foxes right on the roadway hanging out. It was our first wildlife sighting of the trip. We continued up to the Two Medicine area of the park overlooking Sinopah Mountain and Two Medicine Lake. Without fail the boys took to skipping rocks, we never told them that it was a typical activity they just gravitated to it. After hanging out for 20 minutes we headed back toward East Glacier to make sure we were in time for dinner. On the way back out of the Park we saw what I would say was 1 year old Bear Cub scampering into the woods. Unfortunately the little one was too skittish to get a picture.

Last night we had dinner with the community that lives out at the Mission. Brother Jim, Katie, Zach and Allison helped prepare a chili dinner with rice, bread and a desert of brownies. We had a nice conversation talked about their experiences this year in Browning and got a glimpse of the Reservation and the school from their perspective. Following dinner the boys took some time exploring the Mission grounds and all it has to offer. They were followed by the two dogs that call the Mission home, Jill and Ghost.

Once dusk set in the boys headed indoors and the card games began. One group played BS while Mr. Ott and I played Spades against Noah and Joe. They picked the game up pretty quickly and we had a good time snacking talking about the upcoming week. We had lights out at 11:00 and we are ready and rearing to go for the first day of work.
