March 29, 2011...Beautiful Montana Skies and Falling Trees

We drove through Montana and I was pleasantly surprised to see the wide open spaces offset by the most beautiful blue skies I've ever seen.  When we came through Montana on the way out West, it was blowy and snowy and all there was was white as far as the eye could see.  


I could have stared out the windows the entire trip just watching the beautiful scenery go by.  And it changed so frequently.  In ND it got so flat and then seconds later there would be rolling hills.  Then flat again.  It was captivating!


The kids did marvelously while on a train with odd schedules/routines for three days.  They played together, watched movies, read books, played with legos.  They're the most flexible and adaptable kids ever and I would take them anywhere!


The second day on the train we hit a tree (which actually hit the train outside the window we were sitting at).  It apparently fell as we passed and scared the living daylights out of us while we were sitting in the dining car.  It "derailed" us for three hours while the engineers inspected the damage and repairs were made to the train.  Yikes!  What an adventure!
