Today we took advantage of the warmer weather and headed up the hill to Banff and Lake Louise. The clear skies made for a gorgeous drive...
I always get a kick out of seeing these snow-covered haystacks - they look like frosted mini-wheats to me!
We trekked up to Lake Louise for the Annual Ice Festival - ice sculpture contest (with teams from around the world), ice skating and hockey on the lake and other winter activities. It was fun to watch the ice artists at work. They were carving the ice with chainsaws and other sharp tools - amazing!
Out on the lake the hotel had a special ice castle that Katherine loved.
I thought walking on the ice covered lake was a bit scary....note the hole...and there were other signs warning of "thin ice."
Check out the ice bar!
And, look at these crazy icicles!
That is so GREAT!!! How cool were those Ice Sculptures....WOW. and the frosted mini wheats are HILAROUS....now I am always going to think of that!
