We Made It!











OK, so we have been here a week and it has been hard to find time to post. I have been either to busy unpacking, having fun skiing or just to darn tired. It is so beautiful here.

This was our first stop on our way to Banff. This is basically what I see every time I pull out of my neighborhood, just a bit farther away. We had fun in the mountains. It snowed as we shopped along the main street. We drove up the mountain a bit more and was able to get out and play. I felt like we were going to fall off.

We went skiing at Olympic Park over the weekend. We have lessons scheduled for this weekend, but we did not want to wait. Sydney and I got skied while Brock and Bryan tried to snowboard. Brock was a natural on the snowboard.
I am sorry that my pics are not in order. I am sure you can figure out which I am talking about.
We will start our church visiting this weekend. There are a lot around here. I know that we will find the right one in time.
Next week the kids start school and I will go on my first Urban Hike. The city is full of trails and hills. There is a program called Fit Frog that does Urban Hikes and Coffee Hikes a couple of times a week. The Coffee Hike is just when they stop for coffee afterward. That is right up my ally.
It has been cold but bearable, in 20's and 30's. We have seen snow fall twice since we have been here and it is suppose to snow today. We missed the most of it already. I think that is a good thing. Now I can at least get accustomed to my surroundings before I have to drive in it.
I have will have to stop now. I have to go downtown to apply for our Social Insurance Number. I want to get there and back before the snow comes. I love and miss you all. I hope you are all enjoying that warm weather you having. I will try to get back to you soon. I have to let you know how we do on our 2nd ski outing. I would love to here from you all.
Be blessed,
Ali

Alison,
I love the blog what a great way for your friends in Louisiana to keep up with your great adventures. I love the coffee hike idea! I want to do that whenever I come to visit. Sad news Randy is coming to Canada in September but he is going to Edmonton not Calgary:( I told him to work on his boss to get it change to Calgary. That is just a mean tease to be so close yet too far) Keep posting the pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!! miss you

Ali,

I love the pics! It is BEAUTIFUL and I'm a little jealous of the skiing. We've been once and loved it! I like the coffee hike idea but am not sure how well it would go over here. Can you imagine hiking down Jefferson Hwy to CC's? Although a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

Miss you and I'm praying the is a great adventure for your family!
