"Happy Birthday To You"So, James is another year older and the preparations for his card started early.Heather helped to make the card and did a good job at sticking all the letters and hearts on the card. We also made him his own special little birthday cake , which Heather ate most of herself.
We had a great day all together .It started by Heather proudly giving James his card and cake and then we had a nice breakfast.We then got ready to go to Kananaskis along HWY 40 to cycle the Highwood pass with our friends ,Sue and Eric.This is a mountain pass road which is closed to vehicles in the winter and is opened to traffic on the 15th June. So it is great to take advantage of the road with no cars and to really enjoy a family day out with beautiful scenery.
On our way up the highwood pass
We were lucky with the weather and the sun shone all day,it was still a cold wind , as you are still at a high elevation .So we cycled up to just short of the top of the pass and then enjoyed the cycle down,however , I found that I had to peddle on the down hills due to the wind!! That was a bummer ,having 5 weeks to go of the pregnancy.The whole thing took us 2 hours and then we stopped off at Kananaskis village for a sandwich and Heather enjoyed exploring the waterfall.
Later that evening we had the great company of our friends ,Sue and Eric .So all in all it was a pretty perfect day .It made us really appreciated where we live and made us think that we should have more of these family day outings.Life sometimes just gets too busy.....and I know it is about to get a whole lot busier in a few weeks time!!!!
