Oh Canada, Oh Canada!

Some might call us stupid, in fact we might call ourselves stupid for attempting to drive a total of 32 hours in the car with two young kids... 16 hours each way but somehow we all managed to make it home alive and well! It actually wasn't as bad as I think Shawn and I had anticipated.














Jordan just needed a lot of entertaining as you could imagine. And of course grandpa tried to teach her how to say "are we there yet?" but thankfully that didn't work out. We did come prepared with every snack imaginable, every kid movie we owned, lots of books, crayons, and lots of other "stuff". All in all Jordan and Nolan did pretty well.



We were in Olds, which is a small town outside Calgary for those that are familiar with Canada. It was Shawn's grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, so there were lots of cousins, aunts, and uncles. We really enjoyed seeing his family, and being able to spend some time with his grandparents. I am thankful to have married into such a great family.




On the way home we stopped in Bamf National Park for a night. It was incredible! Probably one of, if not the most beautiful places we have been. Everything is so green, and the town that we stayed in Canmore is so so cute. Lots to do there if you love the outdoors. We took Jordan and Nolan on their first "hike". This is the resort that we stayed at, it sat right against a mountain so lots of trails around us... but of course a hike with a two year old only lasted like 30 minutes... which we were actually pleasantly surprised by.




Jordan and her cousin Clayton were the entertainment for the weekend. They found Grandpa & Grandma's coat closet, with all their scarves, hats and gloves. And of course they loved grandpa's walker!
