Day trip up north

A lot of haze from the forest fires
Playing with the bears at the Vortex House
Aunt Jenny, Amelia and me...we shrunk!
We drove far enough to take pictures at the sign and buy tshirts!
Grizzly bear about 20 feet from our car
She slept through the whole bear adventure!
Austin, his sister Jenny, Amelia and I took a day trip north to go to the Great Bear Adventure near Glacier Park. It was a pretty drive, especially as we drove along Flathead Lake. On the way, we saw a Vortex House, which I had seen online, so we stopped to check it out. It's basically a house built on a slant, and you get dizzy inside. After we left, we drove to Glacier Park, but since we didn't have time to spend there, we drove far enough in to take a picture by the sign and buy some tshirts. Amelia got a really cute long sleeved tshirt..size 2-4...so she has to grow into it. Last, we we to the Great Bear Adventure, where you drive through a forested area right around bears, both black bears and grizzlies. It was pretty cool...we drove around about 6 times, and we were as close as 15 feet to the bears. They were well-fed and pretty lazy, so there wasn't any danger. On the way back, we stopped at a fruit stand to buy some Rainier and Flathead cherries and apricots...so good!
