BAMBI AND THUMPER REALLY DO EXIST....

Remember the movie 'Bambi' ...? Well most of you wouldn't. But back in my day, I remember distinctly, while sitting in a dentist chair, reading the Bambi comic book and crying because the movie was sooo sad. Now you may think that Bambi isn't real, but by some miracle, the following pictures were taken.. (forwarded to my by email by Brianne). I just have to share
.
Aren't these just the cutest pictures?

Yes, there is a Bambi and Thumper.. and I want you to know that I always believed. Always..

Banff ...

WHAT A PHENOMENON... These were ice crystals we kicked up on the snow that had not melted on the river. Just like teeny weeny Smallville house. (You know that Crystal one)..Just the neatest thing.

Love these kids...Charlie's wanna-bes ..
Okay the story .. Niall was to fly out of Calgary and Tami wanted me to meet her friend Mike. So I drove up to Calgary, met up with the kids and we drove to Banff.. as Niall hadn't ever been there. It was a day to remember. We took the Gondola (and I am afraid of heights) but the view was spectacular when we got to the top. I love the mountains. I often wonder when the Lord created the earth, that when it came to the mountains, did He personally shape each one? Something like if we were building a sandcastle .. or a young boy building a track in the dirt in the garden?
There is no doubt that when you are up that high, observing nature, that you tend to feel closer to the Lord.

Oh .. and this is Tami's friend, Mike.

Who Knew the Hoo Doos?

Tami.. balancing on a hoo doo.

(I am behind the camera having a nervous breakdown)

Tami's former housemate, Niall Sayers, flew over a two weeks ago for a spontaneous visit. Last week they came home after Tami's final paper and final farewell for the semester.. They went to Waterton for a couple of days and when they came home, after a nice brunch, we went to Writing-On-Stone Park. I am certain I haven't been there since my early early early years. I do remember seeing pictures of my brother and I when we were kids but haven't been there since.

Niall was like a little spider money, hopping from rock to rock .. one little break dance move on the top of a Hoo Doo and he scared me half to death a couple of times. But, it was a good day. I actually surprized myself. I managed to get from point A to point B without any incident.
