Mini-Vacation, Day 3 Heading Home

Sunday morning arrived bright and early for us. Well, for three of us, as I quietly amused the boys and let my tired husband sleep in a bit.

Our eldest making “Talking Carl” sing kid songs on the iPhone.

I tried, Keith…really, I tried! But my baby doesn’t “get” staying still.

Though I DO get it, I’m not as cute first thing in the am, and sick… 😉

Soon the baby discovers the way out to the porch…

And a game of in-and-out-and-in-and-out ensues.

Hey, wait a minute…this wasn’t part of the deal!

We got packed up and went for one last swim – using the robe!

Time to check out and hit the road.

Now, where did I leave the car?

One last “Flower Boy” shot for the books.

And I FINALLY ask to stop and take a photo of this sign post.

We stop in Invermere for something to eat – at least for the adults.

Oh, how I wish my children enjoyed eating something healthy.

Then it was time to head home – toward somewhat ominous sky.

Still a beautiful ride, in spite of the rain.

I especially loved the Fireweed in the new growth areas.

The boys napped, and when we hit Canmore we got out to stretch.

The weather was momentarily clearing…

So I took lots of scenics, especially for my friend Jenny…

Who lived here for a year before returning to Australia. We miss you!

One last shot before it clouded over again and we returned home.

Vacations are always a lot of work with little ones, but the time away without having to worry about cooking or cleaning or other odds-and-ends is well worth the effort. Especially with gorgeous nature opportunities such as these, and a fun family such as mine.
