Mountain Climbing

Caleb is excited about 2 things in Banff-the waterslides and the mountains.  Ever since we arrived, he has been asking to go climb the mountain that he can see from his window.  We tried to explain that it is farther away than it looks but he was quite insistent that it was "right there".  So off we went to "climb a mountain".

Silas had the best seat in the house.  He was less than happy at first.  I haven't worn him much on my back but once we started walking he settled right in and took a little nap.

Sophie was quite insistent that she did not want to climb the mountain and just wanted to go "home".  After convincing her that it would be fun, she reluctantly started down the trail.  She did enjoy drawing pictures in the dirt as we walked.

Of course after she tripped and fell she kept reminding us that she told us that she "didn't want to come" in the middle of her tears.  We went back to play in the playground...which she did enjoy and Caleb and Ryan went on to tackle the mountain.  Caleb came home saying that his legs were tired but not too tired to go swimming.  And ready to climb another mountain tomorrow.
