Everyone excluding P who was driving (e hope) had a quick power nap once in Alberta.

Wildlife we encountered was a herd of bison (domesticated) and a pack of coyotes (wild). Also chipmunk hit and 1 duck missed during the trip so far.

Got into Edmonton and found a room at the Holiday Inn, breakfast buffet included. Off to supper at Denny's and to the pool for a swim before sleeping.

Driving today mostly split evenly between D, B and P. J worked by wrestling up food from coolers as required. B's previous long work day (until 4:00 AM today) finally caught up. He was not feeling good at supper and needs to sleep.

Service at supper fast and friendly. S ordered mashed eggs which brought forth much teasing.

Stowed the TV and Xbox in the car (hidden) as we don't think there will much need for that during the drive through the mountains.

GPS has been acting up, not seeming to hold a charge well. Also plugging it into the car does not seem to charge it fully.
May have to consider replacing that before continuing, will do more testing tomorrow.

Tomorrow, to West Edmonton Mall for the water park and we will see what happens.
Also, planning purchase of a patch cord so that iPods can be plugged into car sound system.
