This is where My uncle and auntie were staying, Oosoyos is the hottest place in Canada apparently, i say apparently because we were welcomed there with 2 hours of rain, hail, lighting and thunder. This Rain unfortunately continued on in our drive through the Rocky Mountains, what is suppose the be the most beautiful scenery in Canada. Which was a bit of a downer, though it seemed fate was on our side and as we were coming to lake Louise the weather cleared up, words or pictures can not describe how beautiful lake Louise was, it looks exactly like all the post cards, absolutely stunning.
The Hotel On lake Louise (the Fairmont) is huge, also very expensive, Kris seemed some what disappointed when i would not book a room for the night.
From there we headed to Banff, a lovely quaint mountain town. We went up another Gondola Ride (though this time it did not stop halfway up the mountain for 15 minutes). Kris and i also had a drink at the bar and met some lovely bar men who were very interested in jager bombs.
Calgary - We stayed four nights with more of my relatives, nothing too terribly exciting to report besides shopping sprees and going up the calgary tower, though i did find out that Kristie is addicted to Guitar hero.
We finally arrived in Lloydminster, my family's home town. It is a fairly small town, but a great example of a Canadian town, every car is a TRUCK and driven by a muscle headed, tattoo covered Cowboy(though this is a slight over exaggeration, there are some normal/ordinary people living in the town/city). We Got lucky, because the county fair was in town, YEEE HAAA!, this meant more cowboys and farm animals (not talking about Kristie). We went on some rides, Kristie screamed her head off and cried on each one, it was the funniest thing i have ever seen, i cried of laughter, here is a photo which i think captures the moment nicely.
But to calm her down i had to do the right thing and win her a toy, Although the first thing i won was a fuzzy foot on a stick.......Kris said i could keep it....But i later sweet talked a carnie and traded it in for a elephant.
After the hype of the Fair, we ventured to Edmonton for the weekend. There we stayed with my cousins and went to the biggest mall in the world..here are some of the sites to see in West Edmonton Mall.
