Before Banff...

So before banff we had snow, and sun, and other fun things! 

Here is Immy making flowers with real seeds and these coloured foam like things that turn into a kind of soil?! She had a lot of fun :-)


View of the Rockies from our kitchen window (when I thought the snow would stay in the mountains!)

Immy ready to go to her first day of Kindergarten

She is always asking me to take photos of us doing silly poses. 

And the snow arrived... (this is the first day- before I got all their winter gear out - when I still thought it was going to melt by the afternoon hahahahahahaha)

Much later in the day... still snowing!


Making hot chocolate to stay warm after spending the morning playing in the snow!

The next day!

Our wrecked gazebo (after I took the canopy down) after the snow killed it.

Eli watched a you tube vid and taught himself how to finger knit. He's made scarves for everyone!


A visit to the Science Centre - giving power to the houses


They have a workshop where they build 'real' things. Can't remember what this was that they were working on but it was their favourite part of the science centre.





Jedi Halloween costume

Down by the Bow river just a few mins from our house. (Just a day after we had snow)








Down at the lake the week after the snow!






On the stage at the science centre with her friend from school. Of course Immy is the tallest person in their class and she is the shortest person in the class!

Rock wall in the science centre

They have a really cool playground outside the science centre 

Look at this slide! You have to climb up the rope ladders and nets inside to be able to get to the top. Immy was so mad as she just couldn't do it! Eli must have done it about 20 times!

In a demonstration about temperature. Eli was picked as a volunteer. He had to hold a flame to the balloon! He was actually really freaked out and jumped a mile when the balloon burst!

Fixing stuff!
