okotoks april/may 2010

These pictures are completely backwards, but I don't have time to correct them, so this is what you get! Here are the kiddies...okay maybe Marc isn't really a kid anymore. But at last, Olivia agreed to take a picture. Ryan, Amber, Olivia and Marc

Here we are at East Side Mario's...yumyum!

Our trip to banff wasn't complete without hitting all the candy stores and the gondola at Sulphur Mtn.

Back in Okotoks for a traditional game of mini sticks.

Amber snapped this great photo of Uncle John.

At the Calgary Zoo. So much to see, we couldn't fit it all in. Amber really wanted to see a Mtn Goat, but the Canadian Wild section was the one part we didn't get to see. (After all, Ikea was calling my name!)

Olivia was terrified of the dinosaurs. She was not convinced that they were not real.

My absolute favourite part was the giraffe's/hippo's and the elephants. I could have watched them all day.
