Back from an amazing long weekend in The Rockies. We stayed in a friends 'condo' in Canmore which was fabulous and visited Banff and Lake Louise. Banff is a really pretty town at the foot of mountains (with lovely shops selling Clinique!). We spent a little time there on Saturday before heading up to Lake Louise, which is a beautiful Lake, quite high up in the mountains with crystal clear water which is fed by the glaciers. On a sunny day the surrounding mountains reflect on the water and in the winter you can skate on the frozen lake. Just gorgeous! On Sunday we went back to Banff for a cable car ride up Sulphur Mountain (not my favourite pastime! - but I wouldn't have missed it for the world). We went up 7500 feet - Leigh and the kids loved it! The views were absolutely amazing - Rocky Mountains as far as the eye could see in every direction. We even had a snow ball fight at the top! All the peaks are covered in snow. When you come out to visit, we will take you! - If it's in the winter we will ski back down!
We have been at a 'Party in the Park' tonight. The Parachute Regt band were playing (all kinds of music) they were really good. Had a picnic listening to the music. Luckily the weather here is still warm and sunny (chilly in The Rockies though!). Leighs turn for skate school this week...he'll let you know how he get's on......
