Jasper

 After a crazy drive from Edmonton, we finally arrive in Jasper.
This was the view from our room!
 We enjoyed a wonderful Easter dinner.  
Ian chose the rabbit and I had the lamb ; )
 We stopped to make our own s'mores and grab some 
hot chocolate for the short hike back to our cabin.
 What a view!
 The kids had to test the 'Danger, thin ice' warning...
but we made some great discoveries about how the ice crystals form on top of the lake!
 Swimming in the snow.  What a view!


 Columbia Ice Fields
 We could not have asked for better weather for one 
of the most breathtaking drives in the world.
The Athabasca glacier.
What an amazing trip!

Keho Lake, Lethbridge County After many years off, Ian finally got to go kitesurfing again!   On our way home we stopped in Vulcan,AB for lunch.  We couldn't help but stop and enjoy the tourist sites....  ...and local Delorian convention.  Around 3, we finally fed the kids lunch! (The local places were all closed on Sunday, so we settled for A&W)  The kids enjoyed the local playground and splash park before heading back to Calgary.

Again, Evelyn is exhausted, Kaeli is the princess and Anna is probably telling me about some animal pooping outside the window.  From Edmonton we went on to Jasper (here is the lake).  It was so beautiful!  There were Mule deer and Elk everywhere.  Our cabin was right by the lake.  Anna and Kaeli try to take it easy (despite the wind).  Kaeli and Anna share...
