Happy Canada Day!

Cara got her new cowboy hat last week and this week Gwen got her new hat! Yahoo!

She also tried on a chef's hat while we made banana bread. She is a natural chef!

Gwen all decked out in Canada Day attire.

We went to the Canada Day activities at Fort Calgary again this year. It was a beautiful day and lots of crowds but we had fun. Cara entered a colouring contest!

Gwen stayed pretty close to me and had a little nap.

Cara and Daddy checked out the baby animals in the petting zoo.

Cara enjoyed the animals much more than last year!

A beautiful day and beautiful sisters!

Gwen was not fazed by the crowds!

On Saturday we took a day trip to the mountains. We stopped for a picnic near Lake Louise.

Cara got to run after a very long car ride - the traffic in the park was insane!

Gwen got to have lunch al fresco.

After lunch we went to see Morraine Lake. This is a brook near the lake. We took a little trail up to a nice viewing area.

Daddy and Cara at the look out!
Cara has been looking at a painting we have of this lake and kept asking to go there so we did. She saw the lake and said "just like my picture!".
This lake is so much prettier than Lake Louise and much bluer too.

Byrne family portrait!

What would you do for a Klondike Bar?

Turns out I would accidentally steal one! Haha! After a bit of a misunderstanding it turns out that I walked out of the shop with this treat and neither me nor Daddy paid for it...we didn't realize this until later that night at home and we weren't going back...but the next time we are there we'll settle the bill! Promise!

On Sunday we went to visit our friends Verity, Rod and Freya in their brand new house! Cara and Freya had a blast playing together and Gwen joined in a bit too. A great end to a great weekend!
