Thanksgiving Weekend in Banff

Had a fantastic Friday heading to Banff. The weather and traffic were great coming up here, we have a great chalet and although they are doing construction/renovations at our site, the place is great. We played a few card games, yahtzee, had a great dinner of fried cheese and mushrooms, and went for a great walk.

...a bed of nails.

Had a fantastic day at the Telus World of Science with Sue, George, Nancy, Robb, Gabor and Aniko. Thanks for the lovely gift Gabor! Spent a lot of time at the WOWtown working at the brick mine and sending the bricks flying down the ramp, building piglet's homes complete with swimming pools, buying groceries at the grocers, playing in the water, built a dam, taking shadow photos, climbing the spider's web, hanging out in the Sparrow's nest, Gabor riding the ant and then the rest of the exibits where we got to ride bikes, lift ourselves with pulleys, race cars, play with an interactive screen bouncing planets around, see ourselves with a heat sensor camera (no pics), play with all the science gadgets, saw a live bee colony, watched Nancy work in space, pressed our faces into pegs, made electricity and shocked ourselves, played a mind relaxation game against each other (I won against Sue and Robb won against Nancy), coloring, and lied on a bed of nails. Would have tried the g-force bicycle and the tornado machine had they been working. Had a fantastic time!!! Finished the day watching Amazing Race at Sue and George's with a Brazilian dinner (recipes and pictures on the New Recipes Tried blog).
