13 Aug 2024 – TD 135
Randal hangs out with me in the morning by the river, enjoying some quiet time outside the RV and all the chaos inside as the rest of the family wakes up and gets breakfast.
We decided to head out to the Big Hole National Battlefield.
It was a nice drive through the mountains of Idaho and Montana and the remote forests. Most of the drive was without cell phone service.
It was a blustery day, the winds had picked up a bit and it was cool. We got to the visitor center and there were a few people there, but you could easily tell that they did not get as much foot traffic as other sites.
An overview of the battlefield and movements.
The kids work on their books while waiting for the park movie to start.
All done with their books, they get their badges.
Duck explores the touch table at the visitor center.
Ducky tries on the bandoleer of Winchester 45-70 ammunition, used at the time by the US Calvary units.
Meanwhile, Evan and Randal work on some coloring.
Back at the RV, Randal checks out one of his favorite books.
Ducky is enthralled by motorcycles. These travelers showed up and the gentleman was showing off his bike to Ducky. He offered to let Ducky rev the throttle, but it was a bit too loud for him.
Randal, however, was not interested in the loud motorcycle.
Randal enjoys his dinner on the rocks, shaken and not stirred.
After dinner, Randal and his one sock head to the river for some playtime with Evan and Ducky.
Daddy rescues the wet baby and delivers him to the shower, much to his dismay.
Later that night, the kids enjoy some s’mores!
