I'm going to start by saying we had the nicest and warmest spring ever. I'm talking +28 C in April. Of course May long weekend usually brings bad weather and we usually don't care since we never do anything. This year though, we had plans to go to Canmore with our friends the Fixsen's, and were sure the weather would be more of the same, hot and sunny. But nope! However, rainy and cool weather didn't stop us. We had the best weekend!
We drove down Thursday night after Chris got home for work and arrived at the Fixsen's condo around 10:30 pm. Friday morning we went for a bike ride and played at the park.
I love Stella's fake sleep!
After lunch we went hiking at Grassi Lake. The cool weather was perfect for the way up.
Wyatt made the girls a picture scavenger hunt of things we would find on the trail, one was the twisted tree!

After we made it to the top, the guys hiked a little further to get better view and the girls explored some of the caves.
After the hike, Chris and Brett went mountain biking and later Leslie and I did some window shopping around town.
Saturday morning we went swimming at Elevation Place. After lunch, Chris, Macy, Brett, Wyatt, and Isla went back to do rock climbing.
After dinner we did the park again and then hit up the ice cream shop.
Sunday we did church in the morning and Banff Hot Springs in the afternoon. The cool, rainy weather was perfect for the hot springs. However, I've been spoiled by the Bozeman Hot Springs and these weren't as great...but still fun.
Monday we did the Candy Store and packed up. It was a super weekend. The kids traveled and slept as well as could be expected. It was a fun mini holiday in the middle of May and we're so grateful the Fixsen's are so awesome and invited us along!
