Echo Lake Vacation

Yesterday afternoon we returned from our annual family get together at Echo Lake.  It has been some years since everyone has attended and this year our three oldest granddaughters weren't able to make it due to jobs and Calgary Stampede Showband.

The weather was just about perfect - a bit hot for me though and a bit windy on Saturday afternoon.

Since Jeremy's cabin wouldn't hold everyone we were at three different places.  Bob and I stayed with the Mosers across the lake.


There was boating, swimming, skiing, wake boarding, wake skating, tubing, bridge jumping, shopping, entertainment, campfire and, of course, eating.

Edward and Nathan left at noon Saturday.  That evening the sixteen remaining went out the MacKenzie River Pizza Company.

Sunday morning after church we drove home.  It was a much less stressful drive over Logan's Pass because there was less traffic and no construction waits as there had been when we came on Tuesday so it took a half hour less.  However, we did encounter falling rock.  The car ahead of us got hit but we stopped in time and waited for the rocks to stop before we continued.  In all the times I have crossed Logan's Pass, this was the first time I have seen rocks falling on the road.
