Winterfest 2012

What do you do when there isn't any snow to play in? You go and find some!

We took off to Waterton National Park to celebrate Winterfest 2012 for the day. We weren't too sure what to expect as far as weather but as we started getting closer it looked like the mountains were lost in a dark grey cloud which promised snow! As soon as we parked the kids were out of the van and playing in snow like they'd never seen it before. The sled came out and all three kids squished on and Ryan pulled them as we walked up to Cameron Falls. The falls looked pretty amazing with the huge frozen icicles falling and the water running underneath. The kids took off up a hill and took turns whipping down, it's the first time they've been able to go tobogganing this year and they definitely were pretty excited about it ... Well, Brayden and Sydney at least. Madison seemed a little freaked out about the whole thing. Not a winter lover but who can blame our little Filipina? Made for the tropics.
We made our way back to the lodge for a warm up, filled our tummies with some food (FYI: wouldn't recommend the yak steak) and took off back to Lethbridge. Over all nice day trip out of the city!
Happy Family Day weekend everyone!
