Banff and Lake Louise

It was a snowy, windy day on the mountain, but we had some good runs and enjoyed our first serving of poutine - yum! We wrapped up at Trapper’s again while each boy skied on their own a bit. 

Today we took a break from skiing and woke up to some new snow. We braved the drive up the ice field parkway and were glad we did. The roads were not bad and the sun peaked out for us and we had some beautiful views of the glaciers and Icefields with no crowds or traffic. We played the alphabet game and got the last letter as we pulled back into Banff. 

We made a stop at Lake Louise which is completely different in the winter, but still magnificent.  We then drove back to Banff for a late lunch at the brewery and looked around town a bit (and got more BeaverTails). We wrapped up the night with curling lessons at

The rec center and tacos back at the condo. Definitely the type of day that reminded me of past road trip vacations with my family. And the boys really didn’t fight during the drive and we didn’t even have devices to distract them with. What a win! 

Not very sunny the day we skied
