this is waterton.
we ventured down to that adorable town of waterton this weekend.
it is seriously the cutest mountain town i know.
i have been wanting to go back there for years, but it has just never worked out.
luckily, this weekend, it did!
matt's sister, rebecca, was camping 1 night in the waterton townsite and invited us to join.
so we decided, 'what the heck! let's go!'
we booked the campsite right next to theirs, borrowed all sorts of camp gear (because we own none), and headed out first thing saturday morning for a 1 night stay in waterton.
considering we were only there for about 40 hours, we did a ton of fun things!
what we did in waterton:
- played by the lake
- rented a surrey bike
- hiked bear's hump
- ate hotdogs from 'weiners of waterton'
- checked out main street
- sat around the fire and visited
- had our own makeshift church by the lake
- hiked up to bertha falls
- had a picnic by the lake
- and we even saw 2 bears!
matt's other sister, sara, her family, and his parents, were staying not too far from waterton so they met up with us during the days too.
we loved spending the weekend in waterton, even though we woke up to freezing cold temperatures and rain on sunday morning!
(and even though i am so not a camper.)
i would love to some more time down there this summer.
our favorite parts of the trip are:
chet: all of it! it was so fun.
holden: sleeping in a tent.
pam: our hikes. especially the view from the top of bear's hump.
matt: just being in the mountains.
what exactly is going on here?!
waterton is known for having lots of wild animals roaming about.
so we told our boys that we would probably see some cool animals while we were there.. maybe even a bear.
they were very excited at the thought of seeing a bear, and were always on the lookout for one.
but it wasn't until we were heading out of town that we finally spotted a bear. actually, 2 bears!
it couldn't have been a better way to end their weekend.
