Western Ontario

With Papa doing much better we decided it was time to go home.  So the day after his birthday party we packed up and headed back to North Carolina, but this would be a more leisurely trip, with a few planned stops such as Toronto and Niagara Falls.  However, it is a very long drive from Saskatchewan to Toronto!  Worse, I had no cell service through all of Manitoba and half way through Ontario - about two whole days with no contact.  With no calls to Daddy...meaning I could not threaten "if you don't quit that I am calling Daddy right now!"

Anyway, we managed just fine.  Once we got a day or so into the trip the scenery started to change from prairies. Soon it seemed that every curve in the road had a view like this...

 It always amazes me what the kids notice.  I had to explain what the vertical lines in the rocks were.  I drove many miles pondering what these lines were until I finally realized they are the blasting holes.  Imagine the conversations we had while going past mile after mile of "blasted mountains".
