Friday morning arrived cold and gray. Many of the surrounding mountains were wrapped in clouds and mist. We left Banff National Park and headed west towards Jasper National Park. It was a four hour trip without stops, but babies love stops, especially Little Sis!
The road leading to The Township of Jasper is called the Icefeilds Parkway, and is suppose to be one of the top ten most scenic drives in the world. But, due to the clouds and snow we saw at higher elevations, we couldn't see its full glory. We did see some mountain goats being chased by Japanese tourists with cameras and a massive bull elk at our campground in Jasper. I thought the elk looked pretty tasty!
Fortunately, the girls were great the whole drive and we pulled into our campsite at 4pm. Earliest ever! Colin took Big Sis to play at the campground playground to burn off pent up energy and I dealt with a teething baby. Why do my babies alway cut their first teeth while we are away from home? She also has learned to say "mama" and calls for me when she's hungry and wants out of her car seat. Stinker. More on Jasper to come...
