My kids were so excited to be re-united with their cousins at their house in CANADA!  

We had a great week up there - going to an indoor water park, the Calgary Zoo, River Rafting down the Elbow River, and hanging out enjoying some great cool weather.  My brother’s house is gorgeous, but the kids thought it was sooo cool because they had a basement with a projection screen (aka lifesize Mario & Luigi), a cool playroom loft, and woods and a river right outside their house.  We won’t mention the great balcony patio that they loved to toss soccer balls down to the backyard grass…

Anyway, I was very much looking forward to spending the day in Banff and Lake Louise.  I have heard about how amazing and beautiful it is, and it definitely did not disappoint.

My brother’s family at Lake Louise…

I could not convince Kate that this was a lake… She insisted it was a swimming pool and that she wanted to go swimming.  Brrrrr…. Glacier water.  But I do have to agree… it is the most beautiful clear turquoise water I have ever seen!  And unfortunately, looks better than our swimming pool after the algae got to it!

Most AMAZING and beautiful hike EVER!!!!
