We had a lovely sunny weekend
Easter Sunday we packed lunch
loaded the car with all the kids and the dogs and off we went.
Big Fork is a lovely lakeside community a few miles down the road from us.
Sits at the NE end of Flathead lake.
Home to Flathead Indians and the modern Cowboy.
A mecca for artists and summer tourists a like.
Surrounded by it's natural beauty of the mountains
and beautiful clear lakes
you'll understand why so many people flock to this lovely place.
Spring has sprung in the flower beds
Side walks artistically adorned by moose.
...and yes, a river runs thru it.
Some say Big Fork
has a sadness to it
built upon an Indian burial ground
Artsy shops
Yummy restaurants..with hip architecture
"Pioneer Woman"
I have to say I do feel like her some time (sans the bonnet)
...settling out here in the west by myself
leaving all my family in the old country of Norway.
Fly shops galore.
Gorgy spring day
Eating and playing alfresco with our family...couldn't ask for a better Easter Sunday.
How was yours?
Big Fork just went on my list, the list of places I will visit before I am too old to walk on my two feet! Maybe it's my indian heritage calling me, that looks like such a fun place.
