Oh Canada! Part 1

We had a fantastic summer and were able to do lots of fun things but the highlight was our trip to Canada to visit the Taylor's. We left Boise on a Thursday after work and were able to spend the night with Grandpa and Grandma Randall. They left the next week to start their mission at the Washington DC temple so it was our last visit with them for a whole year! On Friday we left bright and early for our long day of driving. The kids did very well in the car, it wasn't pure torture like we all thought it would be!
Saturday morning the Calgary Stampede was still in full swing so we had a fun breakfast in Okatoks and the kids enjoyed lots of free cotton candy, face painting, fishing pond and meeting a real live Canadian Mountie. We spent that afternoon at the Heritage Isle neighborhood lake. It became a favorite spot! Sunday morning we headed to Banff National Park. It was so beautiful! We enjoyed a 5 star breakfast at the Banff Springs Hotel and then toured the hotel grounds.
