The Hiawatha Trail

September 21st Gary and I celebrated our 13Th wedding anniversary. We decided it would be fun to do something different. We had heard about the Hiawatha trail from friends, it is a 15 mile bike ride that follows the route the train took from Chicago coming to the west. It starts on the Idaho and Montana border. It is a 2% downhill grade so not a hard ride. We invited family members to come along. Steve and Becca, Clint and Kristin, their two children 8 year old Valencia and 5 year old Vincent, Garianne's daughter Amia also 8 years old and Gary and I. The weather had been warm the day before our ride but turned cold and rainy. You will notice in the pictures some of us are wearing garbage bags to try and keep the rain off. The trip took about 4 hours and then we had almost a two hour wait for the bus to take us back to our cars. We were all pretty cold. Since the trip we have all said we would do it again but only if the weather was better.
We spent the night at the Silver Mt. Resort in Kellogg Id. they have a 25 million dollar water park. That was a lot of fun. Both big kids and little ones enjoyed it. It was a wonderful way to celcbrate our Anniversary.
