More Glacier

We stopped several times at a place called goat lick. The goats come down to partake of the minerals in the rock, we come down to partake of the goats. Both times it was raining, buy we did see goats. Toby's favorite part was the binoculars. While other people were using them, he would stand at their feet saying "my turn" over and over again.
We did a lot of driving on our second day. The weather wasn't great and we wanted to see both sides of the park, so we drove their. Luckily the views were gorgeous and we got some great pictures.After driving around the outside of the park to St. Mary's Lake we had lunch and then drove up to Many Glacier. On the way Toby fell asleep in the car. He hadn't been sleeping very well or getting good naps so we decided that I would stay in the car with Toby while Zach took a look around. While in the car I took a little snooze and Zach had look at some big horn sheep.
On Friday we had the amazing opportunity to take a helicopter ride over Glacier. We had to split our group into three groups. The helicopter ride was so cool. We got to see things that we hadn't been able to because the road through the park was still closed due to snow. Everything we saw was amazing. It was my first trip on a helicopter and it did make me feel a little sick, but it was so worth it. We thought about taking Toby, he wanted to get in the helicopter, but we started crying shortly before we took off, so we left him down on the ground. The whole trip was a ton of fun. I would definitely recommend everyone go to glacier at some point. It was totally worth it.
