Spring Break

On March 24th we took the girls on a short trip for Spring Break.  We started out by driving down to Banff National Park.  We spent a little over a day wandering around the townsite and checking all the shops.  The girls really liked the Welsh's Candy Shop, and the Fossil Shop.  We went for prime rib to Bumpers, and then stayed the night just outside the park in Harvie Heights.  The next morning we had brunch with my brother Wes and his family.  My two oldest girls were really excited to see their "favorite" cousin, Simone.
The next day we headed back into Calgary.  The girls had a sleepover with their cousin, and Margarit, Helena and I stayed at a nearby hotel.  It was my brother Wes's 45th birthday and we celebrated with take out Chinese food and a birthday cake.
The next day was Monday and Wes and Barb had to return to work.  Margarit and I took all the kids including our nephew Sam, for lunch.  Then the girls went over to our hotel and spent the day playing in the pool and on the waterslide.  That evening we had a little more time to visit with Wes and Barb.  Simone stayed with us and the girls at the hotel.  The next morning we packed up and made our way back to Edmonton.  I had the last game of the Renegades winter season that night, and Margarit was taking the girls to their riding lesson.
