The Rockies

In May 2014 I went to Grande Cache near the Rockies in Alberta, 2 hours from where I live. My parents out of the blue decided to take a trip to Grande Cache. Me thinking it would be a great experience agreed we should go and we left. It was a long ride, but it definitely wasn't boring. Looking outside my car window I saw that the landscapes were beautiful, the trees were ready to bloom, the sun was shinning, and you could see the snowy tops of the Rockies. My family and I took, what seemed like, thousands of pictures. We saw mines and dark blue rivers, deers and tweeting birds of all kinds.

But when we got there I saw the most spectacular sight I've ever seen.
The Rockies.
Wow! We had seen pictures, films, descriptions of the mountains but none could describe the beauty and peacefulness of them. It was weird thought being in Grande Cache, spring showing everywhere, while looking at the mountains, covered in snow looking cold, and feeling like wow this is beauty. Not the beauty depicted by movie stars, films, magazines or anything man made. It was natural beauty made with love by God. Nothing can surpass it. We took pictures and went as far as we could to get near them. After that we headed home after being in Grande Cache for about 2 hours. The ride back was filled with anticipation to get home but we kept recalling the mountains and their glory. To this day (3 days later)I think what would have happened if we had stayed at home that day. We wouldn't have had gotten a cracked windshield ( a rock hit us)or left a hamburger half eaten forgotten in a restaurant or by mistake found where the correctional centre was. Those are going to be things we will always remember. One out of the blue trip was a great experience for our family.
