We continued our route by heading towards Lytton. The road was nuts!
This is the highway. Both lanes. Well, the opposite lane is currently at the bottom of the valley. It no longer exists. Perhaps erosion or a rock slide. It is a fairly long stretch on the highway ending in a blind corner over a single lane bridge.
Somewhere out of Pemberton, we pulled over to the side of the road. We wanted to play in the river!

Joel once again playing with rocks. He loved spending time throwing rocks into the river.
It's a favorite past time.
Micah prefers mountain climbing.
A little mountain, but he made it!

We continued to drive with two fairly happy kids in the car. They only complained when we drove between Whistler and Squamish and that was because they were hungry!
While driving down the Sea to Sky on our way home, I moved my foot and felt a little pinch. When I looked down, I saw a LARGE hornet. It didn't sting me, but since I was driving, I needed to pull over quickly to remove it from the van before it did. Of course, once we found a place to pull over, it took a while to find the little bugger. It met its fate.
We had a nice relaxing day. In under twelve hours, we made the entire circle (7.5 hours of driving according to google maps). We loved every minute of it. It was just what we needed to do as a family. We got to take our kids to some amazing places only to see them play with rocks and sticks. We got to see their discovery and curiosity come through. We got to relax, soak in God's creation and drive into the unknown. We got to converse as a couple while the boys slept. We got exactly what we needed. An adventure!
