Magical Lake Minnewanka
Yesterday we went back out to the Mountains. I never want these adventures to stop and we love soaking up every moment with Brian home for the week.
We had booked the Banff Gondola and it did not dissapoint!
We were all really excited but Bentley and Penny were a little nervous about how high we were going to be. Once we loaded onto the gondola, they all loved it! Such a fun experience!
The gondola took us to the top but not quite to the summit of the mountain so we chose to walk the rest. These kids are incredible and I am proud of them! We were all out of breath but the walk really wasn't as long or hard as we thought it would be and getting to the very tip top of that mountain was worth every bit of it.
We explored and played until we were all played out and then headed back down the gondola and back to the parking lot. Such a cool experience and Im so glad we did this with the kids! Our Banff day didn't end here. We knew we just had to go to the amazing Banff Candy Store while we were there so we did just that!
We saw lots of wildlife in Banff too. Its amazing how huge these animals are! So cool to watch, even if they're just sitting there, Ha!
We still weren't ready to go back home and we had a little longer before the sun set so we decided to check out Lake Minnewanka. HOW HAVE WE NEVER BEEN THERE! Holy cow!! It was unbelievable! Breathtaking! You should totally go if you ever get the chance! This beat Gap Lake by a million miles and skating on this particular lake felt like a hollywood movie scene. It was crazy!
We stayed as long as we could. We played ice tag and took in all the beauty that God created. We will absolutely be going back, every season, for the rest of forever! I am so gratful for these adventures with our kids but also for adventuing with Brian. I honestly cherish when he gets a couple days off work. I love having help with the kids and the house. I love how safe he makes me feel because when I adventure in the mountains without him all I think about is the kids and me being mauled by bears (haha). Totally unrealistic but really, I don't even think about stuff like that when Brian is around.
Im so gratful for these little slices and snapshot moments with him. I love you Bri Guy!
