Waterton National Park

We thought that we would celebrate our first weekend back in Canada by driving 1 1/2 hours south to Waterton National Park. It was a perfect day, hot and no wind (which is very rare for Waterton!). We stopped of at the Prince of Whales hotel to take a look at the amazing view of Waterton Lake and the town site letting the kids run off a bit of energy the collected during the drive! One thing we did notice was a huge group of Filipino's in some sort of tour up there snapping pictures like there was no tomorrow! Filipino's and they're pictures (shaking my head side to side with a little bit of an eye roll). I feel like I can say that because I consider myself part Filipino and have been going a little camera crazy myself ;)

After our brief stop off we made our way into the tiny town of Waterton and took a look at the 'show and shine' they had going on and even the kids had a good time checking out all the "hot wheels."

We then had a great lunch with a stop over at the lake to through the token rocks into the water and dip our toes in to see exactly how cold the water was.... oh SOOOO cold!!! I nearly pee'ed myself and went into shock when I felt how cold the lake was!
We also took the rollar coaster road to Red Rock Canyon where we played a bit in the water and on the rocks before heading back into the car and driving home for dinner. And although we didn't get a look at any bears we did get to watch this beauty licking all the salt off the cars in the parking lot at Red Rock!

It was such a great day and I got my first sunburn of the summer season... including out months in the Philippines!
