Awesome!!

Here we are at the summit of Sulphur Mountain just outside Banff.  We travelled the 698m on the Banff Gondola to an elevation of 2,281m where there is a viewing platform, restaurants to satisfy hungry children, and a walk along a snow covered decking boardwalk along a mountain ridge to the adjacent summit where there was an old observatory.  The views were absolutely spectacular and we all managed to brave the temperatures so we could experience the beauty.  I came back down with Charlie and Benjamin so I asked them what they thought of the views....awesome, sweet, immense, cool, fantastical!!!! With prompting we then came up with... magnificent, breathtaking, beautiful, stunning and heart beating.  As the guide book says 'more mountains in a moment than most see in a lifetime'.  In the afternoon we walked around the town which is very old colonial in style, had a look at the lovely shops (although we were pre-occupied looking for antifreeze for our useless car that wouldn't start in the cold!) and then headed back to our hotel which has a very child-friendly swimming pool with water slides.  If asked...guess what our children will say when they are asked what was the best bit about Banff!!!
