Well, it's been a little while since my last post but here I am again. We've been very busy and enjoying a lovely autumn season in the mountains. On Thanksgiving weekend we took a drive down to Fernie to spend it with Rob's cousin's family. It was a lot of fun but unfortunately I don't have many photos to share...in fact I only have one. I misplaced my camera after the first night so this is the only picture I have...
Last week my friend Amanda was visiting from out of town and wanted to go for a hike. The boys and I are always up for a good hike, the only catch is she had to carry one of them. There's a trail just outside of Banff I've wanted to check out forever but never had the chance. It leads you up the base of a mountain to a giant swing hung from a giant tree on a steep slope so that when you swing out you're high up over looking the trees and river below. I had heard of the swing a few years ago from a girl I used to work with but I wasn't sure exactly where it was or how to get there until I recently found some info on the Internet about it. Amanda was up for anything so we set out on our adventure in hopes of finding this amazing swing.

But we never did find the swing. Actually we found the spot where it used to be but it was cut down. As my Mom would say (and did say when I told her this story) it was a real "lunch bag let down". It was still a beautiful hike though and fun adventure.
And in other news...this weekend Canmore was celebrating the Festival of the Eagles. The boys got up close and personal with some owls. So cool!

That's it for now, I think we're all caught up!
