Frank Slide

Everybody knows we love weekends here at the Whidden house. Jared's home, no other commitments, and we try hard to make it just family time. This weekend we, spur of the moment, went and toured Frank Slide. It was super windy (southern alberta!), so we didn't walk the trails as much as I would have liked, but it was still really fun. Hayley was "Super Grump", though. She is so sweet until she gets tired, poor little thing. They had alot of activities for kids to do, and we had alot of fun.





Carter is such a sensitive little guy - he kept saying, "Mom, I feel sad for those people that died when the mountain fell down." We kept trying to put a happy spin on it ("Yes it is sad, but now they are up in Heaven!") or change the subject. *If any of you have heard the story of mine and Carter's "Joseph Smith" conversation, you know why it's essential to put a positive spin on the topic of death for this sensitive little guy.*

I also had to take some pictures of our mountains. I know scenery pictures are boring when nobody's in them, but one of my favorite things is clear blue skies, with snow-peaked mountains. And the past few days have been just that. How did I get so lucky, being able to see this everyday?
