Winter in the mountains

This past weekend we met up with some friends in Banff at one of our favourite spots - Cascade Ponds. It was an absolutely beautiful day - sunny with a slight chill in the air. After all the snow we've had over the last few weeks the mountains looked spectacular. And the trails were in perfect condition for Rory's first sled ride.





It was quite a task to get the little guy all bundled up - Rory is quite the fidget and was so excited to be out exploring the mountains with mum and dad.




But with no complaints - Rory chilled out and watched the beautiful surroundings pass him by as daddy pulled him alongside the now frozen ponds. Rory would occasionally stretch back and look up towardsthe sky and at the towering snow capped peaks as he let his hands brush over the snow as it drifted past him.

And what is a day out in the snowy mountains without a little play in the snow and of course a little taste of the white stuff!



All smiles as Rory pretends he is soaring through the sky.



Thanks for the sled ride daddy - I promise to pull you next time.

All the fresh mountain air and sunshine was just too much for our little Eskimo. On our last walk around the ponds, Rory's eyes drew heavy and he fell into a deep snooze. Another fantastic day in the mountains.
