Still apples!

We came home to apples still on the Apple tree!  Must make applesauce for school lunches. 

On to see Robert and Barry

We stopped for a quick dip in the canyon Hot Springs The pool was 86° and the hot tub was 104. 

at last we made it to Robert and Barry's house. They had their pool at 88°!

As usual they were superb hosts and Barry served up beautiful meals. 

A family picture from our evening at ma n pa's in Calgary. Mark superimposed Clive in for me. Mum put out a lovely dinner and managed to get all of us but two together.  Big Clive was on a bike trip and Kelly was on the island. 

Moving on

Had to visit West Edmonton Mall. We stayed at Leta's parents home and were treated to a delectable breakfast and barbecue.   Had a great time at the mall. Clive tried virtual reality on a PS4. He loved it. All the boys had a blast at the water park. 

Then it was time to go to Jasper.

This is at Athabaska Falls. Somehow I didn't get a picture of the actual falls

We climbed to the toe of the Athabaska Glacier. This was cool in more ways than one!  It was like winter so windy and cold

Drumheller

Climbing the HooDoos after the long drive to Drumheller 

Had a Tipple Tour at the Atlas Coal Mine. 

And the boys thought they had it tough!🙄. So happy not to be coal mining. 

We are in his mouth. Nearly got eaten by a dinosaur. 

Last stop was Horseshoe Canyon. After a couple of hours in the Tyrell Museum we had a good run in the canyon.  A memorable day full of good fun. 

Calgary

Great times at the trampoline park with Shackleton. 

We stayed at Shacks house. So perfect. 

Comfortable and central, we loved it here. 

And the cherry on top!  George, the best cat in the world!!

Banff

Had a quick look around town then went up to the Banff Fairmont Hotel. 

Beautiful hotel, very busy with weddings

And the filthy rich  

David getting to know the wildlife. 

Not sure he should be doing this, but how could he resist?

Revelstoke

A one night stop over. Stayed at the Best Western Plus. Quite delightful especially for the price and free breakfast!

New business idea?  

Rogers Pass. Clive took a beautiful photo of the mountains for his screen saver.  All new buildings there. The old ones are empty and boarded up.
