Banff

After the wedding we headed straight to Canada.  We stayed near Banff National Park for 5 days. It is in the Canadian Rockies and I think it might be the prettiest place I have ever been.  Here we are at Lake Louise, before our hike. We actually have a better picture without the stranger in it.
 The hike was a little over 2 miles each way.  It took the girls quite some time, but we made it with lots and lots of stops along the way.
 We hiked up to have high tea at the tea house at Lake Agnes.  Here is Daddy and Bailey showing you how to correctly drink tea.  It was kind of funny because someone actually walked by and said,"That is not how we really drink tea!" It makes me chuckle every time I look at these pictures.

 We also went on a canoe ride down on lake louse.  Maddie was terrified and screamed for quite some time.  She thought we were going to tip over.  Bailey did an amazing job of keeping her safe and calm.
 We made it back all in one piece.  The hotel in the background is where Prince Will and Princess Kate had just recently visited.
 Here are just a few of the breathtaking views on our drives.

 We spent a day shopping in the town of Banff and look what Maddie ended up with.
 Once again I think the favorite of the trip for the girls was swimming in the pool.  It was a great vacation to relax and hang out as a family.
