Calgary Long Weekend

So here we are for another fun filled Thanks Giving Weekend.  This year we were able to go down to Calgary to visit some great friends and go for some fun hikes in Canmore.  It started off great but I must admit that it did turn a little scary just as we were getting ready to head to Canmore.  We had stopped as a large group at the grocery store to grab a few things and get gas.  Jamie, Darien and Tammy had gone into the store to get the groceries and as they were walking back towards the cars Jamie was crossing the road and a car that had stopped all of a sudden hit the gas pedal and hit him.  It was all so quick and sudden.  It was hard to believe that it had actually happened.  Come to find out it was a student driver.  Thankfully Jamie was able to jump up a little as the car hit him, so he didn't go under the front end and he even rolled off the hood and landed on his feet.  He was very shaken and in shock and of course thought everything was ok.  After exchanging information we decide to carry on to Canmore and see how he felt when we got there.  He was swore but felt fine but as we kept driving things got a little worst.  Finally by the time we made it to Canmore we knew he needed to see a doctor.  So we went to the hospital there.  He had some minor whip lash and some bruises but the most part he would be fine.  Really who would have thought.  Anyway we tried not to let it stop us.  We took some time and then headed out for a hike with the kids.
I took the more adventurous ones and we did the more challenging hike and it was great.
It was the perfect day for a hike.  I love these emerald pools at the top of this hike.
Of course you can't go there without taking a look in the caves.
Me and my boys.  I love these type of memories.
One day I will look back at these pictures and be so thankful for all the memories we were able to have.
Even the silly pictures.  LOL
Me and my damaged hunnny.  LOL  I told him if he was a cat he would be down to 7 lives and that I am not ok with that.  No more accidents.
Keagan is getting so big.
This was our hiking view.  Amazing!!!
This was a lot easier going down than up.  LOL
Our group at the falls.  Thanks for the great weekend Tammy and Jim.
