Turkey Day in Banff

The rest of my family flew into Calgary and we all met in Banff. We stayed at the coolest place, Castle Mountain Chalets. Each family had their own cabin with a full kitchen and the best part, a wood burning fireplace. It was an absolute blast. We had such a great time together. We actually had Thanksgiving on Friday because the 20 pound turkey (that is ~10 kilos, which caused some confusion for our chef :) was still frozen and everyone wanted to go skiing on Thursday. Olivia and I hung back with Ducky and Pong Pong, as they baby on the way was not quite up for snowboarding!
