Alberta!

We headed out to Alberta this summer as a friend of Greg's from college was getting married.  We left Winnipeg and headed to Swift Current Saskatchewan on our first day of travel.  After some time spent in the pool, the girls were exhausted!


We spent some great time in Granum, Taber and Lethbridge with good friends.  The wedding was wonderful and it was so nice to see people that we haven't seen in ages!  Unfortunately, all of the pictures from that time are on Greg's phone and not available to me at the moment.  I'll post some of those later on.  Once the wedding weekend was over, we headed up to the Calgary zoo.  Here are some of our favourite animals...





I still can't believe she touched that thing...



It was really humid in the ape enclosure - hopefully you can make out the ape in this picture.  Amazing.
After Calgary, we headed up to Edmonton to spend some time with the Huygen family.  Here is a shot of our kiddies.
We also took a day trip to Ponoka to visit with the De Gier family on their dairy.  I was very impressed with how clean the barn was and how technology is being used today in farming.

The girls all traveled really well - here is Danica holding Peyton's hand while watching a movie.
On our way home, we stopped in Yorkton - they had a pool and waterslide which was a hit!
