We saw a GRIZZLY BEAR today!

We saw a Grizzly, we saw a Grizzly!! 

There were a bunch of people stopped looking at something, being the grand tourists we are, we stopped too.  There he was, standing in a field watching all the peeps.  He stood twice, we took a ton of pics. and I'll post one later.  We never have binoculars in the car, but for unknown reasons Eric put some in the car this morning.  I was frankly shocked at how many people got out of their cars, we were happy to watch him from inside our car thank you very much!

We went to five national parks yesterday, Glacier, Yoho, Banf, Revelstoke and Jasper.  Amazing land here in BC.  We spent the night in Jasper Park and then this morning we went to Waterfowl lake and checked out the campsite there.  We'd go back, it was pretty cool.  Then we drove all of Kootenay National park today.  It's HUGE.  We stopped at Kootenay River this afternoon and Jia and I had a nap while Eric and the girls went for a hike.  They went as far as they dared go.  Saw lots of signs of wild life.  They saw wolf poop, I had to ask how they knew, apparently it looks like dog scat but it was full of fur.  The water in all the lakes and rivers are such amazing greens and blues.  Most of the glacier water looks like the color of Chinese jade.

So, we finally made it to our destination, we're here for three nights.  It's Eric's Birthday today and it's been a good day.  We're just going to eat some dinner and then head out for an evening swim at the hot pools.  The campsite has had several bear sightings in the last few days, so the girlies will have to stay close.
