Num-ti Jah

Lynsey had recommended that if we had time, we should
stop off at Num-ti-jah lodge and we were so glad we did.
The view of Bow lake was beautiful.


Luke spent his time doing the usual - throwing stones
into the water.

Alpine Village

The Alpine Village in Jasper was definately one of the highlights.
The cabin was fantastic, just overlooking the Athabasca river that
Mark and Dad were white water rafting down.

On the way to Jasper

When heading from Lake Louise up to
Jasper we stopped off to see some amazing views

Above is Peyto Lake - The colours were amazing and
below is our trip onto the glacier at the Columbia Icefields


Then we stopped off at the Athabasca Falls

Luke does his best to entertain himself on the journey!

Lake Louise 2

Our second day we went to Lake Louise in the morning
and the view was beautiful.




We hired out the canoes and paddled up to the top
of the lake and back. Definately one of my favourite memories.

Lake Louise

We stayed in this cabin at Lake Louise
and met up with Mum and Dad who had already
been there a week.





Luke takes up his favourite hobby of
throwing stones into the creek

Setting Off

Left home in the pouring rain on Tuesday 3rd July. Flew over Greenland on our way to Calgary on the Wednesday - Thought this photo of it was pretty cool!

The Spidey Birthday!!

Before we begin the posts about the holiday thought we would update you on the 3rd Birthday that took place yesterday. Luke looks a bit miffed in the second picture as Reuben has just blown out his candles middway through the singing of happy birthday!!

But don't worry - we lit them again!!

Then a special guest appeared in honour of Luke's birthday - Reuben is in AWE!

Uncle Chris even got an autograph!!!!

( Really funny thing is - he REALLY believes he is Spider man when he has the suit on - and when he takes his mask off he says 'Don't worry - it's me - Peter Parker!!!')

A big THANK YOU!

A Big Thank you to Jack and Florence in Calgary and Dave, Stacey and Caleb in Medicine Hat
for looking after us on our holiday in Canada

Over the next few entries we will bore you with our holiday photos and hopefully they will look better on the blog than they do on the copies we got printed at Tescos!
