Canada: Day 4

On day four, we had to say goodbye to Canada. Leaving was much easier since it meant we'd soon be saying hello to our sweet kids that we were missing. The morning of day four, we went on a short hike from the hotel to the Bow Falls nearby. It was a beautiful place where we could walk right up next to the river.

Next to the falls we could see impressive slabs of rock that were beautifully layered.
I couldn't resist trying to capture the sunlight glistening on the river.


And I also couldn't resist snapping a shot of Cody pondering some deep thoughts while gazing at the river.
We left around 10 AM to drive back to Calgary, stopped for a quick lunch, and boarded the plane. It was great to get home and hug the kids. Lucas had already been put to bed, but when I went back to see him I found that he was still awake. He was sort of rolling around face down in the crib, but he glanced up when he heard me come into the room. You should have seen his eyes as he realized who I was. He jumped up so fast into my arms. I carried him to the living room where he kept going back and forth between Cody and me.

I have to say that Canada was a perfect destination for our anniversary celebration. There was plenty to see and do, the weather couldn't be beat, the scenery was majestic, the food was fabulous, and we have a lot of great memories to cap our first decade of marriage.
