Our third stop was in Waterton! Where we spent most of the day at Red Rock Canyon! It was another hot day and the water was fun for the girls to play in! It was really pretty there! Beth is turning into a good little hiker! She would run up the trail! It was hard to keep up with her! The drive to the canyon was really pretty. There were wild flowers growing everywhere by the highway and the mountains were beautiful! I love being in the mountains. It is always so relaxing for me there! After the canyon, we tried to go to Cameron Lake, but the girls fell asleep in the car so we just ended up going for a scenic drive! In the afternoon we took the girls to get ice cream and then to go swim in the lake! Waterton Lake! It is FREEZING!! But Emily actually swam in it! Tim and I just jumped in really quick and then ran out again! But the girls love water, so I don't think it really mattered how cold it was. Beth had fun throwing rocks in the water! After playing in the lake, we went for a boat ride on the International. It takes you on a tour around Waterton Lake! It was lots of fun!! The girls were able to sit up at the very front of the boat and see everything! It was beautiful out there! We saw a moose on the shore and a bald eagle in the trees! We also crossed the border into Montana where we stopped for a few minutes! It was the end of the day so they didn't have the ranger station open and we couldn't go anywhere, but it was neat all the same! The next day we took the girls to see Cameron Falls quickly before heading to Montana for the family reunion! The falls are right in the town site and are really pretty! We hiked up to the top (which isn't very far) and took pictures! Then it was off for a drive through Logan's Pass in Glacier National Park!
