51 Weeks - First Thanksgiving

Cara meets a tukey leg for the first time...

For Thanksgiving we were going to go for a weekend trip to Jasper but because of a bad snow storm we had to change the plans and instead went for a shorter one night trip to Banff. We had a great time and saw thing around Banff we had never gone to see before like Bow Falls, Banff Hoodoos and Lake Minnewanka. It was very very cold (-17 C on Saturday) so we had to bundle up and drink hot chocolates to stay warm! We stayed right in Banff and had a room with a beautiful view of the mountains and the hotel had a pool so Cara had another swim - she loves swimming and laughs the whole time. She was a great traveller and put up with being bundled up extremely well.

Back home I made us a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Monday and Cara really enjoyed the turkey leg! She didn't want anything else! And she was biting hunks of meat off the leg like a little wild animal - so cute :)

We met some big horned sheep at Lake Minnewanka!

Cara not too pleased with the freezing cold air.

Much like a goat, Cara will attempt to eat nearly everything - including pictures of mountain goats!

After swimming in the pool, Cara wants to go back in!

Some like it cold...not Mummy or Cara though.

The hoodoos...not like the Drumheller ones but still hoodoos.
