A day in the mountains!

Well, this morning my cousin and I set out on our adventures to the mountains! WOW was it Beautiful. I took so many pictures that my batteries died! We started off by taking the scenic route out past Spruce Meadows!! then we went to Canmore, Banff, some surrounding mountains, to Lake louise, and then on our way back, stopped at the Olympic park!

During the entire time in the mountains, our goal was to see some Elk and big horn sheep. It wasnt until we had driven past banff on our way back to okotoks that I saw a HUGE herd of Elk on the side of the road. I'm talking like, 100 elk! I swear! So we pulled over and I got a picture of them.

Lake Louise was also VERY beautiful! Only thing we hadnt really thoguht about was the fact that the lak was frozen over :( so we werent able to the emerald colored water.

While in Banff we made it up to the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel. This hotel is AMAZING. Built some time in the late 1800's I do believe. They even had an outdoor pool, AND people were stupid enough to be out swimming in it! Yeah, I suppose it was probably warm...however it was pretty chilly up there! The winds were really strong, and as we were leaving to head up to Lake Louise, it began to snow a little!

We also drove past the vermillion lakes just below Sulfer mountain, and man oh man did one of them ever stink of rotten eggs! This is the view I got from Sulfer mountain.

All in all it was a pretty amazing way to spend a day off! Now, it's time for bed, because in the morning I'm placing another 5 inch catheter...WITH sutures this time! And then coming to small animal land to set up surgery for 2 dog spays. ( All of which I'm getting to set up for on my own!)
