Happy Campers

Turns out a wrong turn can turn out great!  After making a slight miscalculation on our road trip to Blue Rock campground, we changed course and ended up in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park (a truly spectacular part of Kananaskis).  The mountains are huge and the scenery is epic.


Have canteen...ready to camp
Better test it out
Sluuuuurp

Look at that lake, Daddy! 
C'mon down...the view is even better down here 
Of course I have to throw a rock in this amazingly still lake
Plop
See the ripples?
Here comes MORE!

The hike had incredible views of the lake
We should throw some rocks?!

At the end of our hike
When's lunch??
Exactly what these Grizzly bears were thinking!!  Yes...a Momma bear and her cub.
Has it stopped raining yet?
Fine...I will just do some colouring then
Daddy found this happy face on our kindling :)
Anyone up for a game of Badminton?
I'll serve
I got it...I got it...
I will be twice as good with two rackets!
YESSSS!
MOM!!!!
Cuddling with Daddy on a chilly morning
Early riser
Making faces
Says it all :)
