O Canada! (part 3)

Well, our Canada trip nearly ended at this point because Adam was so sick. When we were ready to take him to the emergency room, Sam gave him a blessing. Unbeknownst to us, the entire family was at that time gathered together, praying for Adam. Shortly afterwards Adam fell asleep and slept all night long (a first in many days!). He woke up the next morning feeling MUCH better, and steadily improved over the next 12 hours until he was back to his normal self.


 So instead of going home, we continued our trip to Banff, about 90 minutes away in the Canadian Rockies. Above is Adam wearing his Davy Crockett cap--the one Grandma Irene bought to donate to the silent auction fundraiser, then bid on and paid for it twice so Adam could have it. She also arranged the most wonderful hotel--it was really like a timeshare with a full kitchen, two baths, and two bedrooms.


Here we are on the gondola ride. Jacob flipped quickly between "Weeee!" and being very nervous.


Once we got to the top of the gondola, there was a walkway to go even farther up. Adam ran up with Grandpa Angus in record time!


We all got the warmest faux-fur lined sweatshirts. SOOO warm! It's my new favorite.


Here is Sam carrying Jacob.


This little squirrel/chipmunk (I forget which) climbed right up on Angus' lap to have a bite of his ice cream.
