Waterton National Park is not very far down the road for us, but for some reason we haven't managed to get here in years. Yes, YEARS. Daniel and Sophie loved their FIRST (yikes!) trip here and I have a feeling that we'll be headed back on a more regular basis.
Our first stop was Red Rock Canyon for a picnic lunch and preschooler friendly hike up and down the canyon. Daniel's favourite colour is red so he was especially enchanted by this beautiful place.
Both kids enjoyed touching the crystal clear water as it rushed by. Even though we were here from late morning to early afternoon, it wasn't hot enough to let the kids get too wet.
Sophie liked to read all the informative plaques along the way. According to her version, they all record stories about princesses.
"Yes. Mom. They are princess stories. You read next one."
When we made our way into the townsite, the kids wanted to play on the new playground. The adjoining spray park looked like fun for a warmer day, so we have yet another reason to return. Daniel did persuade us to rent one of these surreys for Keith and I to pedal around the townsite as he and Sophie cheered and asked for increased speed. Let me tell you, I am going to feel that little adventure tomorrow. They are a LOT harder to pedal than they look!
Of course, we had to see the Cameron Falls before we took our leave with two very tired and happy kids, and a set of parents to match. Daniel perhaps summed it up best, "You and Dad spoiled us today!"
