Thursday. We drove about 90 minutes north to Jasper to explore this awesome quaint little tourist town. We first ate delicious pizzas at the Jasper Pizza Place where we sat at their rooftop tables to enjoy the view. Next, we went to the historic train station and then boys relaxed and watched trains while I did a little shopping. So nice! We got some cinnamon rolls from the Bear Paw Bakery for the next morning, and each boy got a souvenir ring from the rock and gem store. On the way back to the campsite, we stopped at Athabasca Falls to see the continuation of the glacier that we saw yesterday. The power of water is amazing!
Once we were back, Carson and Jeff made pasta and then we packed up for an early start the next day.
I ate this entire pizza by myself! So good! 
Carson trying to make his own duck lips as he mocks a certain rubber ducky. 
Of course, The boys made Jeff pose with it too. 
A steam train in Jasper. Jeff can post all the details for anyone interested. 
We went to an awesome Rock and Gem Store. Here are some Jasper (not sure if these rocks are actually found locally though). 
Jasper. Touristy shops but no where near the crowds as Banff. 
It was actually quite a walk to look at all the places around the Falls. 
Water carved all of that! Amazing! 
Part of the abandoned channel at Athabasca Falls 
The water still has a lot of rock particles in it from the glaciers so it runs kind of white and blue as the light refracts off the dust.

Jeff taught Carson how to tell when the noodles are done. Al dente! 
A totem pole. This one tells a story from top downward. 
Steps downward in a side channel that the falls no longer goes through. So stairs were built so we could see the bottom of the Falls. 
The layout of the Wilcox Campground. It is basically on the sides of a mountain so each row is about 10 feet above the row below it. We were on site 41. 
We put the hammock up here and I sat and read for an hour or so until the mosquitos began to eat me alive.
