| Jack and Jill |
After spending a week at DLSBS, we as had a group recreation day to wind down at Glacier National Park. Before this could begin, we had a few housekeeping matters to take care of; we had to clean the bunk house and pack our belongings. We said goodbye to our canine companions - Jack, Jill and the puppies we affectionately named after the Brothers at Central - and boarded the bus. There was a sense of sadness as we left the mission property because of all memories we made in our week together that will stay with us for a long time. As we made the drive from Browning to Glacier National Park, we saw scenic views of the Rocky Mountains, but these views could not be compared to what lay ahead.

As we arrived at the park, we disembarked the bus and saw Two Medicine Lake which sits quaintly between mountains that had a faint purple glow and rose up to the clouds. We ate our lunch with the lake as our scenic backdrop before heading out to the hiking trail. As we walked through the snow-capped pines, we got an aerial view of the lake that was glistening from the sun's rays. We soon found a scenic waterfall staring at us and we had an awesome time climbing it and taking in the view from the top. Once we reached the plateau of our climb, we had a few moments to reflect on the trip and tell stories about the week. We discussed the bonds we formed, and, most importantly, the lives we touched. As we trekked down the mountain, we started a large snowball fight amongst ourselves and it soon became a war. The curves on the trails gave us the advantage of surprise and you never knew who was going to strike at the next bend. We all enjoyed the hike tremendously. This day at Glacier was the perfect way to end our week and as we prepare for our travels home, we have many great stories to tell when we get back to Da 'Burgh.
