Radium Getaway / Carsick & Snowstorm Disaster

After a hairy drive to Radium (2 mins before we arrived in town Chance lost the contents of his stomach in the car, poor guy), we settled into our rented condo and visited the hot springs.

Chance was pretty impressed by the Bighorn Sheep we saw (plenty of them out at 8 in the AM).

"Mom, how about this rock? Mom, what's this rock? Mom...?"

Still perky enough to pose by the Mountain Sheep sign, after nearly 2 1/2 hours of walking. 40 yards later (and just shy of the rock cliffs in the distance), his feet were too sore to go on. So we turned around, put Chance and Karin in the stroller and headed home...

...by the time we got home, Chance was sawing logs. Zzz! Karin had to be quiet because he kept sleeping in the stroller for about 30 mins....she became well versed in the word "shh!" - see the latest video on youtube!

Unfortunately our weekend was cut short as it started to snow and we decided rapidly it was time to head home. This meant packing up in about 1/2 an hour and waking the kids up as they were fast asleep. They stayed asleep in the car and we were home safe and sound, sure glad we left when we did though, as judging what we drove through, there's no way we would have made it through those mountain passes between Radium and the junction of Hwy 93 and Hwy 1 with any amount of snow accumulation!
