Sunday hike

This past Sunday, our family took a drive out to the mountains.  We decided to explore some places where we haven't been before.  The drive reminds me a lot of Southern Idaho until you reach the mountains.  At one point we stopped at Barrier Lake and took the dogs for a little walk up a mountain.  Let's just say we didn't make it up to the top.  I still haven't got the whole Canadian weather thing down.  We checked the weather service and I thought we would be fine with the jackets we brought.  Hat's, gloves and warmer jackets would of been welcome.  I need to be better prepared when we go out.


 Sadly, the only pic of the family together.  Poor Milo has no privacy.  Soren was just picking up Elliot's mess.  Oh well.
 Soren and Olivia took off at a run down the mountain.  I was expecting a Dunow wipe out, but it didn't happen.  






 This is a pic of the drive towards Banff.  Like I said, the weather was crazy.  The wind was blowing us all over the road.  Blue skies on one side, snowing on the other.



 This is Nakiska ski resort.  Already the snow is piling up.

One the way back we stopped and had a nice lunch at the Iron Goat Pub.  It was relaxing to take our time and have no plans.  There is so much more for us to explore.  I just need to make a greater effort to get out the door and go, no matter the weather.  I'll just have to make sure we bundle up!
