We have now added more pics of Brooklyn, and also from our 2 week Alberta trip. So what did we all do on our trip? Right now it feels we did everything. We (as in LeRoy, Brooklyn, and I, along with my mom and dad and sister Lisa, my brother AJ could not make it) started off by spending the first weekend in Edmonton, being with family and attending my (Faith) cousin's wedding. On that first Sunday we met up with my cousin Holly and her husband Scott, and enjoyed the day at the West Edmonton Waterpark. We had so much fun, as some of us had never been there. We also did a little bit of shopping, but not too much. The next day, lets see, that would make it Monday, we drove to Drumheller in mom and dad's van (we left our car in Edmonton) to see the hoodoo's, and a canyon, and continued on to Calgary for night. I was more excited for the next day as we spent the day at the zoo. My favorites were the hippos and giraffe's and elephants as we can't see those here at home. We then went to Canmore where we spent the next 3 nights. From there we did lots of driving to different canyons, waterfalls, and of course spent a day in Banff. While in Canmore one evening we had a huge hailstorm. We've never seen that much hail at one shot. Thankfully no one was hurt, and no windows on our van were broken, so we didn't need to take time to fix anything. It was so loud on the tin roof we were under, I can't believe Brooklyn slept through the whole thing.
From Canmore we stopped at the Columbia Icefields Glacier, and did the tour thing, on our way to Hinton. That's where we spent the next 2 nights. On our last day we drove back to Jasper and spent some time looking around as well as did a boat tour on Maligne Lake. After our last night in Hinton we drove back to Edmonton to pick up our car, and say goodbye to mom, dad, and Lisa. They were now on their way home, and we were heading up to La Crete to see LeRoy's family. That first week with my family was so much fun, but not very relaxing at all, as we had packed our days full, and had to drive lots to get to different places. Brooklyn was not impressed with all the driving, but we do have to say she did really well. Of course that might also have something to do with the fact she wasn't always in her carseat. But who can drive all the way to Alberta and make their kids stay strapped in the whole time.
Our second week of holidays was much more relaxing as we caught up with LeRoy's parents, brothers, and grandparents. LeRoy even got to golfing with them, and quadding which is always a highlight out there. It was the most exciting to see how easily and fast Brooklyn wanted to be with them. She would rather be with them than with me. That felt strange, but I was glad to have it that way.
Overall our holidays gave us many awesome memories with both families, as well as our own, that we will always cherish. It was filled with many adventures, as well as quiet relaxing times. I'm not sure what else to share right now, but I'm sure more things will pop up in our minds that we would like to share with you. That's all for now.
