Dinner was a little peculiar that evening. I wasn't saying anything.Connie, being 15 and attractive has tons of stuff to talk about withMother. Blah, ...lah, blah. If you asked me what the subject was, Iwouldn't be able to tell you. Connie's all over the place when it comesto conversations. Mother kept looking at me and smiling though. I didn'tlike that too much. Usually she'll just ask me how school was or didanything unusual happen at school or questions like that. This day, shejust smiled at. "You still have much to learn, but I wont be the one to give you theanswers you seek. I only came to see you to warn you about the physicalchanges," she said."What about them?" he said, his concern growing."They'll be starting soon. They will be slow, so don't expect anythingdramatic just yet," she added."Soon! You mean I'll be changing while I'm still at school?!" he cried."It will be slow. There will be ways to hide your change if needbe," shereplied."Oh, this is going to be horrible!" he. "Nicole! That wasn't nice." But Mom! She was putting my brother down. I don't want anyone talking about any of my family like that."My mom smiled. "I understand sweetie, go on." Well, Tim found out and he was so flattered. He came to me that day after school and asked me about that. I told him she was a fool and a bitch for having treated him like that. He thanked me for sticking up for him and gave me a nice long hug."My mom's smile disappeared and her face got serious. "Then what happened?". )Three days at Boulder Lake allowed us to relax before continuing our trip. We spent some time canoeing on the lake and making love under the stars.The sulfurous wonder known as Yellowstone (or Jellystone for those Yogi Bear fans) allowed us to wander the natural geysers and steam pools.From there, we headed further north into Glacier National Park and on into Canada. While many of the areas we had already been through were very nice, Glacier and Banff (Glacier's Canadian Counterpart) have to.
