Trip to Calgary

What a wonderful trip to Calgary. It is amazing that we can be 5 years since our last visit (there was life before the kids, this blog and everything else?) and still feel like it was just yesterday that we were there last. It is too bad you all look so olde, and Matt and I have maintained our youth these five years!

Our wonderful hosts, Craig and Erin, Aiden and Ethan were "so good at sharing" every last thing in their home, and even let us control their schedule while we were there. Auntie Pat and Uncle Bill kept us well fed and entertained. After seeing pictures of baby Kurt these few months, the kids were so excited to see him in person. We got a chance to make new friends with Lindsay and Evelyn too!

Honestly, we had such a good time, I think this is an accurate time line, but it must be the sign of a good vacation when I can't keep track of all the details.

At the beginning you can see Aidan making his fort at the wise architectural direction of Erin (who later on destroyed the fort! BUT, then fixed it!)
Script at the end:
Carter: "A campfire! ________"
Nolen: "OH! A Campfire!" Run off and away.
