Banff and Calgary

We ventured to banff - and took a wonderful gondola ride!!! Then we walked around the fairmont there in banff (michael says we have to stay in this one next time - sweet!) We looked at the beautiful waterfall , saw ppl horse back riding on the grounds and drove around for the amazing gold course. Saw a few deer - creating a tiny golf course road traffic jam :) we took pictures!

Then we rocked downtown banff - fell in love with helly hanson clothing and this other super cute clothing company called david and goliath - adorable T-shirts!!!

And then we headed for Meghan and Geoffs house in Calgary, went to the chuck wagon racing - which is VERY similar rules to roller derby. Had a lot of mini donuts, beer, popcorn, beer, lemon aide, beer and peanuts - and beer :) watched the grandstand show - flying drummers, canadian idol winner, amazing motor cyclists who flew thru the air - it was a "world party" (there was A LOT of jazz hands)

And on saturday we went to the best little breakfast diner, then off to the rodeo, a little rainy but it was still the coolest thing I've ever seen! The bull riding was amazing - and we took lots of video to show you all the awesomeness!!!!
Michael and I also got some authentic cowboy hats. To my surprise I didn't get the tall white hat I thought I wanted - its brown with flowers, and michaels is a leather aussie hat - its perfect for him!!!!

Then last night we took our hosts out to the Salt lick on Stephen Ave which wrapped up the weekend well!

We're now on our way to Moose Jaw!

Hope you had a great weekend too!
Love and rockets
