Banff Heritage Weekend

James has been in a training officers post for a few months now and works a four day week. Every second weekend we have four days off together, as this coincides with my weekend off and the other weekend he has the two days off and I work in the evenings. So when we have the long weekend we have enjoyed camping trips with the kids just locally. One of the recent ones was to Two Jacks Lakes in Banff 20 minutes away. That particular weekend was Banff heritage weekend so there were lots of events happening in Banff.

Heather and Finlay enjoyed the celebration of the Indian days, and took part in Sweet grass race and tug of war and later that evening we attended a Pow wow with drumming ,dancing  and story telling. As usual Heather and Finlay got up to participate in the music.

In Banff they were able to learn about different animals, hunting and making bread on an open fire. Had fun watching a performance from Parks Canada theatre group.
