johnston's canyon

This one time Burns and I went to Market Mall. I was on a mission to get some new pants so I decided to go the cheap yet cute route and we went to Sirens. Burns didn't want to go in so he went to Pet Land to visit the puppies and "cheat on Kobe" a little bit as we jokingly say. While I was searching through some pants, this cute little girl comes up to me and says hi.

And then this one showed up!

Alex and Arianne had been in Pet Land and saw Burns. We then made some pretty great Vine videos with the crazy shoes they had for sale at Sirens. I also found my wedding shoes there but they didn't have my size. They phoned Chinook to see if they had my size there and they did! Well worth the trip.

That night Arianne and Alex invited us to join them for an appetizer and games night. So much delicious food! We played Catch Phrase - boys against girls. It was pretty hilarious at times and I was so sad that I had to leave because I had to get up early to clean the gym in Airdrie.

Alex invited Burns and me to go on a Sunday Strollin' adventure with her family and I excitedly accepted. Burns and I got to her house and we found out that we would be going to Johnston's Canyon for our little stroll. I was pretty excited because I had seen pictures of some of my friends behind ice waterfalls in Johnston's Canyon.

Me with the littlest bear cub:

Joe and Nitty:

A lot of the walkways were suspended to the canyon side.

Alex was pretty hard core and went in her Toms:

We went through a cave to see the Lower Falls:

Pretty cool to see how frozen waterfalls can get.

Looking down on the Lower Falls and the cave:

Then on we went to the Upper Falls. Here's Burns helping his soon-to-be niece, Nitty, up the slippery slope:

Burns and I went ahead of everyone else and we went down a little trail to walk beside the stream.

Then we came to the Upper Falls and it was incredible. I've never seen anything like it. All I could say was, "Wow!"

We weren't sure where to go to get behind the waterfall so Burns tried getting behind the side waterfall on the far right.

He slipped and fell in! Both feet up to his shorts were soaked. Poor Boonie.

Meanwhile the Kutarna's watched from afar.

Fullers were there too, so Dan had an idea to climb the canyon to a waterfall that was off to the right. Burns is in this picture. See if you can spot him. That's Dan climbing, Burns was already at the top.

I didn't want to let the boys have all the fun, so I grabbed Kobe and up we went!

 IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! Yes the ice really was that colour.

Alex tried to come up but her Toms weren't allowing it. Next time, Alex!

The way down the canyon was a little scary. I had Kobe in my arms as we pretty much slid down the whole way. Then Burns and I ran most of the way back and we caught up with Kutarnas who had left a while ago. Burns stopped in a patch of sunlight to wring out some water from his socks then we were again running and caught up with Kutarnas again. So fun!

Most amazing Sunday Stroll so far. Thanks so much for inviting us, Kutarnas!
