Amy and Jay's visit (and Nadine too!)

We were so lucky to have Jason and Amy come for a visit last week: while certainly cooler than Ontario has been the past few days, we did manage to have a few days of sunshine to enjoy the sights. They spent a few days driving through Banff and Jasper, taking Nadine on her first (chilly!) hikes through the glaciers and mountains. The weather called for rain and thunderstorms over the weekend, so we stayed in Calgary, and spent a fun day at the Zoo, before the boys headed out to the Flames vs. Oilers pre-season hockey game. Nadine was a good sport for her first swim at the Talisman pool, and we also had lots of time to relax and visit with good food and good conversation (and a bit of Fussball too!). It's too quiet here now that they've gone, but we will wait patiently for our next visitors: Joel and Janet are booked to arrive in early November. Thanks guys for the great visit--we are truly blessed to have such great family and friends. We miss you!
