We spent holiday Monday up in the Rockies. We had been promising Lucy a trip to the Mountains for a few months now and thought today would be the ideal day. We packed up at 10am and headed to Johnston's Canyon for the day.
We enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch along side some Big-Horn Sheep, and then hiked the 1.5 mile trail up to the upper falls of Johnston's.
At the lower falls, we went through the tunnel to view the waterfall and Lucy kept telling everyone it was raining over there, because of the amazing spray coming off the falls. On the way out to Banff, the two fo us created a list of all the possible animals we might see in the mountains and were able to check off: Deer, Birds, a hawk, Big-Horn Sheep, a Duck, Ants, a Bee, a Chipmunk, Elk and a Moose. Unfortunately the moose was lying on the side of the highway as we were leaving Banff...but we explained to Lucy that he was just sleeping. We didn't get home until 7:30pm and our kids were quite tuckered out.
It was a fabulous day, and I'm sure my muscles will remember it for a few days. It was excited to tell Lucy that Bumpa (Grandpa Bourne) designed the bridge at the beginning of the park.
