Last Day of Famiy Trip

We spent the last day of our trip in Montana at a Nez Perce Indian battlefield. It was called the Battle of the Big Hole. We had a National Park Ranger give us a tour and were sad to find out that the weekend before a group of Nez Perce had traveled the 200 miles their ancestors had gone and just been at this battle field. They had a memorial and a reenactment of sorts of the battle day. I find that the older I get the more history is interesting and I hope that as I take my kids to places like this one they will see history with new eyes and a better understanding. What an amazing place to end our family weekend.

A monument to the people who fought on this battlefield.

This is the monument that the Indians requested for their ancestors that died here.

A baby moose that walked right across our path into the willows below us.
