We took advantage of a nice weather forecast this week and took a mid-week trip to Banff for a couple of nights. It was very nice to get away and the weather was perfect. Here is Daddy and Cara at Bow Falls.
Family portrait at Bow Falls!
Cara was being a bit of a pickle...but she was great for the car ride so her pent up energy had to get out somehow!
Cara waiting for her supper at Boston Pizza.
After supper we went for a swim at the hotel. Gwen had a nice time in the water and loved watching her big sis splash around.
They had a kiddie pool with little slides. Cara had a blast!
The next day we went for a little drive to go on a hike. On the way we saw a herd of Bighorn Sheep.
And a deer. We were only going about 40 km/h...the park has reduced the speed on this stretch of road for the springtime for the sake of the animals.
We had a great hike up Johnston Canyon. Daddy wore Cara on his back.
And Mummy carried Gwen.

There weren't too many people on the trail that day but a nice guy took this picture for us. We impressed a few groups with our hiking with two little ones!
Gwen's first hike completed!
Cara enjoying her spaghetti at the Old Spaghetti Factory.
Gwen is so happy in the mornings :)
While Mummy packed up Daddy and Cara went to play at the giant indoor play structure that was in the hotel (this hotel really was perfect for families!).
Cara about to go down the slide!
Before we left Banff we did one more hike. Fenland trail - a flat loop through some woods. A nice walk.
Gwen napped most of this trail.

Gwen's second hike done!
Totally in control of 2 kiddies!
The other big news this week is that Gwen rolled front to back! She's been rolling onto her belly for weeks and weeks and getting stuck - now she can do a complete rotation! Yay Gwen!
Our strong baby girl!
Cara wore this pretty dress for Mother's Day. She chose the accessories :)It was a great Mother's Day this year!
Gwen being a cutie pie on Mother's Day :)I am one lucky Mama!
Cara - I especially love the mittens with the dress. The boots are an obvious choice - but the mittens are very haute coutre! Move over Donatella!
ReplyDeleteGwen is adorable. Those cheeks are too much! And now she's rollin', rollin', rollin'! Yahoo!
Miss you all. XO Aunt Sarah
Spaghetti is so much fun, no? It isn't always easy to find an extra long piece of spaghetti in a bowl! The Family Portrait at Bow Falls is worth printing! Gwen is so strong! Thanks for sharing yoru Banff fun! Grampy
