Throwing Rocks and Grass and Stuff at Lake Louise

As part of the big family reunion this summer for R's dad's side of the family, we drove out to Lake Louise to hike the Plain of 6 Glaciers Trail. It started out as an easy jaunt along the edge of the lake for 2km, but then it started climbing up the valley in a fairly steep and rocky trail for another 4 km or so. The kids were great troopers and the boys hiked nearly every step of the trail, thanks to Grandpa's coaching.
