Our time in Kamloops had ended. Before we knew it we were on the road with A&W breakfast sandwiches in our hands. We drove north towards Jasper. For the first while it was that same Wild West hilly terrain that surrounds Kamloops, but after that it turned into the rugged Rockies. We climbed and climbed and climbed and found ourselves in the midst of snow-capped mountains.
In the mountains we took a quick break. There was a Terry Fox Peak, and since we had already seen so much of Terry Fox we thought we should stop. There was a river running through the valley of the peak but it was too far down to get to. Instead we stood, marvelled at the peaks, ogled the largest crow ever, and then continued on our way.
When we made it to Jasper we were delayed by a pack of Bighorn Sheep. They were sitting on the highway, just like they do in Radium. Alexander snapped a photo as we went passed and then we continued. Onward through Alberta; through Edmonton, and stopping quickly in Vegreville for gas. Then, we before we knew it we were at the farm! HOME!!!
My dad and bro were waiting for us, and when we arrived we had pork chops and mashed potatoes. It was a perfect meal for Alexander, and I think made especially for him of just meat and potatoes. Lucky him.
We caught up on stuff and discussed what I needed to do before I headed back to Calgary. I had piles of mail to go through and one of the two reasons we headed to Innisfree was to show Alexander around and to pick up my car. I had insurance, so all I had to do was get registration for my Chrysler Neon. I would do that tomorrow in Vegreville.
After a bit we headed to the bedroom. We watched an episode of Castle and then called it a night!
