After we left Lussier Hotsprings, we made our way towards Lundbreck Falls. We stopped to cook up some burgers at a rest stop on the way. It was extremely beautiful, as it right in front of a crystal clear, glass-like river with mountains in the back drop. The sun set quickly, and as it set, Chris started hearing some preculiar sounds in the forest around us. It took the rest of us a little longer to hear them, but as the sounds got louder, we started to get spooked. We packed up as quickly as we could, threw the kids in the car, and got the heck out of dodge. We are still stumped as to what it was. It almost sounded like a laugh of a hyena, but not as high-pitched as I would imagine a hyena sounds.
Our last 2 nights were spent at Lundbreck Falls Provincial Recreation Area. This campsite was a little different than what we have been used to in the past. It was a walk-in site, so we parked in the parking lot and walked out gear into our site. We got in late that night, and I dont quite remember when we finally got to sleep, but Aunty Andra and Grandma Amy said they could still hear Atlas up at 3am.
We camped 5 minutes away from the falls, so it was an easy walk over there. the next day. While we were there, the guy camping next to us found us to give the kids some chalk, so they could make their mark on the bridge amd the rocks aroubs the falls.
Since we didn't have anything planned for the remainder of the day, Chris, Atlas and I caught up on some sleep during the day while Ariella watched some shows.
After our nap, we walked along the river to a more calm nook to spend a little more time. The kids played with beach toys, hunted for rocks, and splashed around in the crystal clear water. Chris got to play a bit as well, crossing the river, walking through the rapids, and scaling a cliff with a rope. He took Onyx with him to the other side. There, they found a perfect place to roll rocks down hills. He also acted as a taxi and brought the kids across with him one at a time so they could "go to the deep" as Ari would say.
We had supper back at the campsite and made our way back to the falls for sun down. We originally planned to enjoy our port that we bought at Skimmerhorn the day before to toast our 5th anniversary, but Atlas had other plans and filled his diaper instead.
We got to have our anniversary toast at the campsite instead.
This day was a really great way to wind down after our busy days before, and I think we were all happy with a bit of downtime to relax.Read more
