Our Trip to Banff

Over the break, Caleb & I had the opportunity to go to Banff, Canada with my parents and brother. It was super fun! We got to ski/snowboard every day and I think I really improved. I actually made it down the mountain a couple times without falling, it was great! Here are quite a few pictures that tell a little bit about our trip.

Caleb & I on the slopes. The temperature averaged between 5 & 12 and boy could you feel it. It was freezing!


My mom & dad, don't they look stylin'?

The 3 sisters. Our hotel was actually on 3 Sisters Drive.


They had a heated pool and hot tub and Coop absolutely loved it! We took him swimming this past summer lots of times and he liked it but nothing like this. It was so fun!





We went to visit a castle that was turned into a hotel. The place was huge and very glamorous! This was the view from it's balcony.


My prince and the castle.


Ice sculptures on the balcony of the castle.

The sun hitting the mountains in the morning on our way up to ski.


On New Years Eve, the little ski village we were staying in held a little get-together on an iced-over pond. There was music, dancing, hot chocolate, & fireworks. There's something about a small town celebration that just makes it feel so homey.


Once again, let me remind you that it was only 8 degrees! Notice our red noses and cheeks.


So dang cute!


While eating out at different restraunts during our trip, we would keep Coop happy by letting him drink out of a straw. He would do it for hours if we let him.



Yes, we did drive there (14 hours) and sometimes, there just wasn't a gas station to change diapers in. Cooper didn't even mind the cold draft with the door open.

14 hours in the car and he's still this happy? We couldn't have a better baby!

Aahh! Too much in one post. I'm overwhelmed and don't know what to comment on. Those thighs are awesome and I'll bet Cooper was thinking "This is one enormus bathtub, awesome!"

Oh, I forgot to mention that that would be so stinking cold. I would have been miserable the entire time. lol
