A new skill...

This young lady has been asking for her training wheels off...After seeing her on her running bike cruising on the driveway while balancing for long distances, they came off pretty quickly!  And off she went...Daddy was only behind her for 2 driveway cycles before she had it down...
Now the sun isn't up yet and she wants to head back out there :)  Nevermind that it's January...there's biking to be done! 
Way to go, Brynlie!

Radium Hot Springs

We crossed the continental divide (fun being split in half) on our trip.  

After Lake Louise, we came to Radium Hot Springs, ready to enjoy some relaxing in the hot springs pools :).  We hiked around the campground after dinner, tried out this cabin's adirondeck chair, and enjoyed a few minutes at a playground.

The following morning, we spent a couple of hours enjoying the pool.  This was the road to the pool - pretty neat!  The hot pool was a great temperature, and there was also a cooler pool for swimming in and cooling off. 

Big horn sheep were on the mountain beside the pool - what beautiful creatures!

Our plans had been to continue towards home from here, but we instead turned around, hoping the truck would be fixed, and headed back past the icefields to Jasper.  As we left Radium, we saw these three enjoying a morning snack from the trees.

Lake Louise

We enjoyed the beauty of the glacial lakes as we left the Icefields.

 We continued on to Lake Louise where we went for another long walk, and enjoyed the beauty of the glacial lake.  Chelsie had fun taking some pictures on my camera :).  We camped there one night before continuing on.
