Home Again, Home Again Gig-a-ti-gig!


We are at the aiport now (now is 5:30 am)....ready to head home. The facebook album is up-to-date. You can click here to look at all the photos of our trip. It was such a wonderful trip, so beautiful. The mountains, lakes, glaciers, trees all scream of God's glory. He is mighty to create and mighty to save. What a great God that He cares enough to number the hairs on my head, offer me everlasting life and allow me to view and experience his creation. I am in awe...

Some highlights:
  • Tons of hikes/walks and views of lakes and trees
  • white water rafting on the Kicking Horse River
  • our car almost broke down on our way to rafting - we had to travel in the shoulder at 20 miles and hour and thought we would miss the rafting, it was pretty comical when we thought about it after it happened and we made the trip...
  • walking through the cute town of Banff and shopping
  • paddle boat on the lake in Jasper
  • canoeing at sunrise on Lake Louise - so quite and peaceful
  • bike riding through Jasper
  • walking on a glacier - so cold and so cool
  • waterfalls
  • a canyon made by rusing water
  • a horse back ride in Banff - Cuba and Splash treated us well
  • Sumwampta Falls Inn - the most surprising dinner
  • a family game of clue
  • a hike up Sulfur Mountain and a gondola ride down
  • Bear Paw Bakery
  • movie in the room
  • Sonny - the resident dog at Lake Louise
  • a walk around downtown Calgary
  • convincing my husband we needed a vintage print to remind us of our trip
The End
