I have to dress a whole lot more warmly now that I live in Montana. I think I've worn this sweatshirt (thanks, Zach!) and vest (thanks, Dad, for getting me a fake North Face in Kathmandu!) almost every day since March 24 when I got here. Also, there are waaaaaay more rocks for me to throw here than I ever found in Dhaka. I take that back; I often found rocks piled up near construction sites in Dhaka, but there was no safe space to throw them. Mom was always telling me to be careful because so many people were always around. Here, that's not the case. This is the driveway at my Davidson Grandparents' house where I'm staying, and seeing it every morning when I wake up is like being in Heaven.
Mom also feels like we're in Heaven because we can drive to Lake McDonald in less than 15 minutes. Lake McDonald is the lake in Glacier National Park where she and Dad met in 2005. It's a pretty special place for them. I'm learning to love it, too. The other day I told everyone that, "Lake McDonal rocks!" I was just trying to tell them that I wanted to play with the rocks by the beach, but they all think I was telling them how great of a place it is.
Of course, the real best part about being here is being by more family. This is me with my Most Amazing Grandfather who really encourages my rock-throwing habit. My Mormor was also here for a few days, and will be coming back for good in about a week, but she took all of these pictures, so I don't have any with her in them.
So, when are you going to come visit now that I live in such a cool place?
wow Tricia, awesome pics. I want to come visit! A dream of ours to visit Glacier some day.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos, and did you notice in the second one you can see the ripples from the rock Doug must have just skipped?
ReplyDeleteBowman, the Van Arendonk ladies wish you lived in Baltimore so they could have more playdates with you! We all miss you and your parents very much and are very excited to hear about your new little brother or sister's arrival. Can we come and visit you some day? Anika and Amira would love to hang out and we have never been to Glacier but your parents tell us is like a piece of heaven on earth. :) You are always welcome to visit us in Baltimore. Some may argue it too is a little piece of heaven on earth. :)
