This past week was spring break for us, so that meant that the boy and I had a week off. Since Shaun had a long change (4 days off) in there too, we decided to go to Banff and do some skiing.
Well, actually, snowboarding, since I’m the only one who skis and since I hurt my back a while ago, I didn’t think I could do it.
So I curled up by the windows in the lodge at Lake Louise with a couple of books and magazines and a little school work and a good coffee, and the boys snowboarded.
You can see on the roof that we still have a lot of snow (they were actually shoveling the roof off) so the skiing was excellent still.
Here is my view from the lodge.
Not too bad, hey?
Here’s the boy all rosy-cheeked and inside for a quick lunch.
We took our nephew with us and they were, literally, the last two on the hill.
Then the beautiful drive back to Banff and dinner.
With views like this, it is definitely worth having a little more winter.
These are the cool animal crossings that are part of the Y to Y project (allowing animals to move around from Yellowstone Park to the Yukon Territory freely).
This is always the sign of a good holiday. One worn out kid. Guess it was the 6 trips to the water slides. Or the snowboarding. Or the hot springs.
What did you do on your spring break?
