On Friday July 13th, we needed some time to re-cooperate after our long hike to Trout Lake the day before. Also it was time to say goodbye to Avalanche campsite, pack up and head to the next campsite. We went outside the park past West Glacier to get some laundry done. I read a book and Andy enjoyed the swings. I'm not sure what Richard was doing.

We had hoped to camp next at Fish Creek, but when we arrived there the ranger informed us they were having problems with the bathrooms and probably didn't REALLY want to camp there. So we set up camp at Apgar campsite instead.
Once our tent was staked we checked out the Apgar village.

I loved the old school building they had converted into a gift shop. I bought some gifts in this shop.

We spent some time checking out the Lake McDonald lodge. Of course no photo album of Glacier would be complete without a photo of the red buses.

We had a late lunch/early dinner at the village and did some more shopping. The highlight of the day was an evening cruise around Lake McDonald. We all were looking forward to the rest and relaxation after so many hikes.

The boat ride was about an hour long. It was fun and I learned a lot from the tour guide. Unfortunately since it was dusk the photos didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. We did get to see a mother white tail deer and her 2 fawns before we had to come back.
