On the weekend we drove to the mountains so we could introduce them to one of our favorite places on earth! Banff:) It wasn't very clear on our way into town, but the next two days were great despite a lousy forecast! On Saturday we walked around Banff, did a little shopping and had some lunch. Then we hit up Bow Falls and then drove out to Lake Louise! We hit up Both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake while we were out there. It was chilly, but still beautiful.
On Sunday the girls went to a high tea at the Banff springs hotel. It was so awesome! The view was breathtaking and the food/tea was delicious too. The waitress we had made the experience so great for the girls. When they brought the food, I was sure it wasn't going to be enough, but we ended up taking home 3 boxes! The boys took a gondola ride up Sulpher mountain and enjoyed the view and hiked around a bit. The ride home was long (as usual).
On Monday when the big kids went to school, Ivy and I took David and Linda to the Legislature. We took a tour, walked around the grounds and let Ivy swim a bit in the fountains out front. I've been on a tour before, but I learned lots of new info this time and really enjoyed the day!
We also were lucky enough to celebrate Canada Day with them! We went back down to the legislature for some swimming, food and fun! Later that night we went to the fireworks in our community. Since it gets dark here so late we had to wait until almost 11:00 for the fireworks to start! It was also raining at this point so we were barely holding on, but I'm glad we stayed. I'm pretty sure it was Ivy's first experience with fireworks!
Good byes are easier when you know you'll see them soon! Thanks so much for coming David and Linda!
