Radium 2014

We took our second annual family trip to Radium this year - actually, last year it was Fairmont and this year we went for 2 nights instead of a week!  We went back to Radium all for the hot springs - never thought I would say that!!!  But the cold pool and hot pool are so large, and Charlie loves the waterslides, so we are well entertained!!!! 

Both Moe and Charlie loved the small slide the first day.  By the second day, we were encouraging Charlie to go down the big kid slide, and sure enough, he did!!!  I was so impressed.  With this slide, you have to be able to slide down and then swim to the edge all by yourself....no parent catching you at the bottom.  We knew Charlie could do it as that's what he had been doing on the little slide, only this slide is a little more intimidating!  BUT - he conquered what little fear he had, and happily slide down time and time again.  ONLY PROBLEM - Moe wanted to go down too!!!!  So we usually had to take Moe to the hot pool to distract him :)

We had a good time, and enjoyed the getaway!  Here are a few pictures of us stopping on our drive out to Radium to throw rocks into the river.  Oh - and we saw 11 bears during our two drives - including a mama bear and her TWO cubs!
