Banff Trip



We had a great time in Banff during my parents visit. We should have stayed for an extra night.

Here is the hotel that we stayed at. It was called the Fairmont at Banff springs. It was really a great place. It was a castle built in the 1880's. The rooms were beautiful and it had a great atmosphere.

Earle and I had a time trying to get the boys to sleep...as always in a shared hotel room... but they had a great time. Also, Ben got to swim both nights so he loved that! They had a hot, outdoor pool ( a little cooler than a hot tub)and Earle told me that the first night he took Ben out there, Ben would get in the hot pool and swim and then get out of the water and go sit in the snow! Crazy kid!Collin was completely obsessed with the phone of course and constantly was picking it up saying, "wello..... Bye, Bye!!"The next day we took Ben tobogganing. It was a blast!! He even went down the big hill by himself! It was a quite a hike ...but we really enjoyed it!Collin was not too fond of the tobogganing, but he like watching us! He did try it once with his dad on a small hill...he cried the whole time!We walked around the town of Banff and all of the shops, it was beautiful!
We took an airlift up one of the mountains. It was great, we got lots of pictures and an amazing view up on the top!










There were so many more things to do, I am sure we will definately be back before we leave here!! We did not even get to the hot springs!!

  4. I am so excited for you and your travels! How fun. It seems so cold. I would freeze.

    Your last several post have been precious! I can't believe our kiddos are two (mine almost). Isn't it so fast and crazy?

    Ben is precious in his Batman bubble bath.

    We are both so blessed to have precious and healthy children. God is good.

    Hugs,
