This weekend we had the chance of hanging out with my in-laws who flew in for four days. This wasn't the first time, but it was the first time they actually saw the Rockies! Not very clearly and not for very long, mind you, but the mountains were right there, undeniable.
We saw them from the house for about an hour, early Sunday morning. The rest of the time: nothing. (Well, there was plenty of snowing and cloud cover and biting cold, but nothing as far as view went.) We spent Sunday in Canmore and Kananaskis Country (on the Troll Falls trail) and, luckily, the day was clear and sunny (though rather cold) and we had a wonderful view of what being in the Rockies is all about.
So (finally, after three tries!) Marc and Magda can go back home and say with confidence that they saw the Rockies!
And we remain here, again grateful for their visit, with fond memories of our wonderful week-end.
Oh, and to explain the title: since we won't be seeing them before Christmas, we celebrated it early on Saturday with a feast and some gifts. Christmas came early to our house and it was great! Thank you again!
