Our Banff Trip

Our trip to Banff started off fantastic. As we arrived in Banff it was snowing and all the Christmas decorations in the town were up. Our hotel was beautiful and we had a great view of the mountain from our room. As soon as we had checked into our room the kids got there snowsuits on and we all headed for the toboggan hill. Ryker and Reegan had a blast. Larkyn at first was not sure of what to think. As she watched Ryker and Reegan go down the hill she insisted on being taken out of her toboggan and all she wanted to do was to slide down on her bum . Our hotel had it's own ice rink so after dinner we took the kids skating. Reegan did amazing for her first time on skates. The kids were having so much fun that David decided to extend our stay an extra day. The kids were so excited. Our second day in Banff was a day of skiing and snowboarding. Reegan was all ready to take her first snowboarding lesson. Her lesson wasn't until 1pm so David and Ryker headed off in the morning and I would meet up with them around noon. As we approached the drop off location David called me on the cell to tell me that Ryker had hurt his arm and he would meet me at the Ski patrol medical building. After meeting up ... David took Reegan off to her lesson and I took Larkyn and Ryker to the emergency room. Our poor boy had broken his arm. Which ment No snowboarding... No Skating... No tobogganing.... and No Hot tubing... The poor guy !!!! Meanwhile since we left the ski hill Reegan was so freaked out that Ryker had hurt himself on a snowboard that she decided to take ski lessons instead.

We ended up not staying the extra day after all as Ryker really was not able to enjoy much. We did go skating and tobogganing on last time for Reegan and Ryker decided he wanted to go tobogganing one more time, before we left.



When all is said in the end the little time we did spend in Banff was beautiful. I just love this town... the snow... the mountains... it truly is magical!!! I hope we make this a yearly event.
