Road Trip Aug 3

 Oh the kids were sooo tired in the morning after partying, some of them, 'til 10pm local time! We roused them at 6AM and hit the road. Final destination is our goal today!

 It was a bit rainy at first, and we passed under a rainbow as we came to the edge of the prairies.

 Melanie has to keep looking out the window at times (especially in the morning) to keep her stomach in check.

 Evelyn offers comfort to a tired Daniel.

Mountains! Check them out guys! There's snow on some of them. 

 Daniel is not sure it's snow...he thinks we're pulling his leg. ;)

 What stunning views! The rockies are so bold and beautiful.

 Watching the train go through reminds me of "The Last Spike" by Pierre Burton. What a tonne of work to pave a path through these colossal mountains!

 We stopped at Maligne Canyon for a leg stretcher. I wasn't in the mood for slowing down...but the kids appreciated Philip's idea.

 Yikes! Don't fall!

 Evelyn wants to stand up higher on the bridge to get a better view.

 Being in a bad mood I didn't let her.

 Peaceful water nestled in the mountains.

 Such sights to see.

 Almost there troops!

We're getting so close we can almost smell it! The mountains are now tame and cute, having lost some of their impressiveness.

And thanks to technology on the road, and a very helpful mother, we had a hot meal waiting for us when arrived around 7pm. Oh to be done with the driving! No one can drag us into the car for at least 24 hours!
