Kalispell to West Yellowstone

Today I woke up at 7:20, got ready, had breakfast (a small waffle, a piece of raisin-bread toast, strawberry yogurt, a peach fruit cup, and apple juice), checked out, fueled up, went to a grocery store to get a few things for Grandma, and got on the road.  At about 1:20, we came to Three Forks (where the rivers Jefferson, Madison, and Galatin meet to form the Missouri River), where we had lunch (ham/turkey/cheddar cheese pita, chips, carrots, apple slices, and pina colada juice).  Then my mom and I went wading in the river...it was 90 degrees and the water was so cold and it felt refreshing!  Then we drove on to the Big Sky Ski Resort (huge, lots of awesome runs...we should go there someday!); also the mall (we went into the ski shop and found discounted pants for me...ski season is just around the corner).  Then we drove on to West Yellowstone, arriving at 6:45.  We're staying in the Alpine Motel, owned by a husband and wife who are very friendly and helpful.  Coffee, tea, apple cider, cocoa, gum, candy, and travel essentials are all at the front desk as well, making it a wonderful place to stay.  Then my mom and I went to a supermarket and got some groceries; then we came back and had supper (pizza, salad, apple juice) and dessert (a chocolate-chip cookie treat and apple cider).  Now I'm going to get my shower and go to bed.  God bless you all!
