Calgary

Last week, Vic had a work trip in Calgary for a conference he was attending, and I was able to tag along and leave the kids behind with their grandparents, yea! It was wonderful, the weather was beautiful and we just enjoyed having adult conversations, eating meals without anyone screaming or throwing food on the floor, and no diapers to change! I spent some time at the conference with Vic, well pretty much just to hear his presentation, which went really well. Other than that, we went to the Calgary zoo and spent an afternoon being driven into the foothills and having a nice dinner out with a coworker that lives in Calgary. We missed Luke and Abby, but it was amazing how a few days away made the kids seem so loud when we got back! We really do appreciate our parents being willing to watch the kids, it was such a nice break for us and hopefully our parents won't remember how worn out they were at the end of the week so they might be willing to do it again someday :-)

At the Calgary Zoo, the changing colors of leaves were so pretty!


They had the Dinosaur Alive exhibit like we have right now in Houston, I took a few dinosaur pictures to show Luke :-)
