Banff Canada Day

Well we are Day three into our Fale Road Trip. Banff has been beautiful. Mountains, mountains and did I mention mountains. We did see wildlife. As we driving into Banff we saw a sign saying, "Bears on the highway. NO STOPPING." We all got excited. We wondered if we would see one. Well we did. Right where people were STOPPED! Some of the people who had stopped were cyclists. Now...they must have been great cyclists because they would need to out-cycle a bear. The bear was a blondy colour which I have now learned means it was a young grizzly. WOW! We went on a tiki tour the next day and saw a mummy coyote playing with her pups. At first it looked like someone had let their dogs run onto the golf course but when we asked the people who had stopped to take photos, they told us they were coyotes. AGAIN with the STOPPING. We celebrated Canada Day in Canada. The first one in 9 years. Awesome. And it was in Banff. A huge National Park surrounded by mountains and filled with wildlife that casually wander the streets. We sat an elk on the main street. So cool. The kids played games and ate festival food like candy floss, candy and beaver tails. A beaver tail is a deep fried, flat doughnut covered in cinnamon sugar or whatever you wanted. Cohen had an Oreo one and Madeline had the original - cinnamon and sugar. Theo opted for a smoothie under the guarantee he will get one on a future date! LOL! Well. Here is our slide show for Canada Day. The song is Blow at High Dough - a favourite of mine by The Tragically Hip - an epic Canadian band. Enjoy, eh! Canada Day 2014 - Banff, AB Canada on PhotoPeach
